As part of the Local Impact Alliance's monthly Lunch and Learn Series, Annette DeMaria, Executive Director of the Alliance of Rouge Communities, provided advice and tips on creating a beautiful yard while protecting the Rouge River Watershed. Suggestions for fertilizer/pesticide use, mowing strategies, animal waste, and household chemical use were all discussed. 

Annette graciously provided us with her slide deck  to refer to back to as we work toward improving our watershed.  She included her full deck, which is more information than she was able to cover during our session.

Here is the link to the youtube video of the presentation.
