| SUPPORT WILDLIFE HABITAT wildlife survival in urban and suburban settings where development has eliminated most natural areas. Create a sense of place: Southeast PA has a unique natural heritage Connect with nature: Functional ecosystems support life Connect fragmented habitat: Stop species decline of birds, amphibians and native plants Reduce time and money: Lawn- dominated landscapes consume time, money and resources Reduce health risks from pesticides and other chemicals: 10x more pesticides per acre are used on suburban lawns than on farmland Preserve water quality and reduce flooding: Decrease runoff & keep water on-site Remember we are stewards of the Earth |
