Every backyard matters
July 11th, 2008
Over half of the land in the Portland metropolitan area is privately owned. So when it comes to improving and protecting the nature and character of the place we call home, the practices used in every household and backyard matter. And that means every person really can make a difference!
Make the place you call home nature-friendly with these practices:
preserving and planting trees
native plants and natural gardening
pervious pavement or pavers
rain gardens
disconnected downspouts, ecoroofs and rainwater harvesting
