"How
to Manage and Landscape Your Property," Plentiful, clean drinking
water is essential for healthy lives and property values.
“How to Manage and Landscape Your Property” is a succinct,
yet comprehensive, brochure for property owners that gives
information about easy and important ways to safequard one’s
well and avoid polluted runoff to neighboring or downstream
properties, upstream reservoirs, and Long Island Sound. The
brochure is one-stop shopping for responsible and cost-effective
protections that anyone can implement and gives links to other
organizations and agencies with additional resources. Individuals,
organizations, and municipalities are encouraged to download
the two-sided, legal-size PDF and spread the information to
help diminish nonpoint pollution. The brochure references
Long Island Sound, but the general information applies to
any river system.
There
are two different versions: one
for Connecticut and one for New York State,(page
#1 and page
#2 download) *prints in landscape format
Each
has helpful links to additional agencies, organizations, and
information. The Connecticut
brochure was distributed by the towns of New Canaan, Redding
, Ridgefield , Weston, and Wilton and is available at local
libraries and Town Halls. It will be distributed in Norwalk
in Spring 2008. The New York version (page
#1 and page
#2 download) is available at the Lewisboro Town House,
South Salem Library, and other locations.
[Both
printed versions were made possible, in part, by grants from
The Sounds Conservancy.]
