The goal is to reduce the environmental impacts of mowing and increase the land's benefit to wildlife, water, air, the climate, and people.
Through the program, DCNR Lawn Conversion Program has funded over 500-acres of lawn conversions to woods and meadows throughout the Commonwealth and continues to provide technical assistance to residents across the state.
