MPAC has created several resources to help concerned residents engage and educate their communities on natural lawn care. We most recently worked with River Forest to create a campaign to encourage the adoption of natural lawn care practices to reduce the use of synthetic chemicals and fertilizers that can have harmful health effects on both people and the environment. MPAC hopes to work with municipalities and local advocacy groups to bring a similar campaign to communities across the Midwest.
