PROTECT
OUR FUN.
Skip the fertilizer this summer.
And save our lakes and bays for fun.
Less Lawn = MORE FUN
Why sweat behind a lawn mower when you could be relaxing at the beach? Getting rid of the grass leaves you more time for fun – and helps keep fertilizer runoff from ruining our waterways. Cut a corner or two, or dig up the whole lawn and put an easy care yard in its place. Check out our tips to get started.

What can I plant that won’t require any care?
MORE FUN - FAST
There’s nothing fun about toxic algae, fish kills or dead zones. That’s why four Tampa Bay communities — Manatee, Pinellas, and Sarasota Counties, plus the city of Tampa — ban nitrogen fertilizer from June 1 to Sept. 30.
