Lawn to Meadow
Lawns are a staple of the American landscape, currently covering more area in the lower 48 states than National Parks. However, they pose a significant threat to biodiversity, causing habitat loss and fragmentation for native species. Lawns also require extensive time and resources to maintain while supporting little to no ecological benefits. The ESF Restoration Science Center (RSC) is working to address these issues through the Lawn to Meadow Program, a component of the Conservation on Private Lands Initiative.
