I received my copy of the Lynnhaven River Now newsletter today. I must compliment them on a very informative insert relating to Rethinking our Lawns. For those who read my blog and do not receive the Newsletter are missing reading a real gem. There are many wonderful and practical tips on lawn care and saving our rivers and bay.One thing I would like to point out is that you do not have to live on the water to be an influence on clean water. All of us who have a lawn should follow these wonderful tips because as fertilizers and pesticides run off our lawn after a heavy rain, they flow to the storm drains and eventually into our rivers.There has been some good news about the condition of the Chesapeake Bay but more work is needed by all residents.

In future post, I will elaborate on the lawn tips.

Please become aware of the Chesapeake Clean Water and Ecosystem Restoration Act that is pending in the congress and the senate. Contact your congressmen and senators to voice your support.
