Healthy Yard Recognition Program Application

- E. Polosca, EAC member

Do you have a healthy yard?  Healthy yards benefit the whole community! If you take care of your yard in a healthy way, we want to thank you and recognize your efforts. If you want to have a healthier yard, but you aren’t sure how to begin, we can help! We all want to have healthy yards, but sometimes it is difficult to find information or figure out how to take the first step. 

The West Vincent Environmental Advisory Council has assembled an application that lists qualities we think a healthy yard would have. We invite you to see how many apply to your yard by filling out the West Vincent Healthy Yard Recognition Program Application. If your yard qualifies, you may choose to receive a yard sign and/or a digital award.  If you feel inspired to take positive action (and we hope you do), feel free to fill out the application as many times as you like to improve your score!
