Speaker Series - Organic Lawn & Landscape Care

The Bay Village Green Team is pleased to have guest speaker, Dan Norris, presenting information on Organic Lawn and Landscape Care at the monthly meeting February 9th. A member of the Westlake Watershed group and also a certified turfgrass professional and a licensed lawn applicator, Dan has worked with Good Nature Organic Lawn Care for nine years and has given presentations to various groups including the National Wildlife Federation and the Cleveland Botanical Garden. Additionally, he has written articles for Earth Watch Ohio, NE Ohio Sierra Club newsletter, Balanced Living and the Cleveland Canine Magazine. Topics Dan will be covering include natural fertilizers, natural weed/pest and insect controls and what effect chemicals have on the environment. Dan will wrap-up his presentation with an update on the Westlake Watershed group and their efforts to educate local residents about going green and protecting water quality. So if you have ever thought about using organic fertilizers or had questions on natural weed controls, this is your chance to ask the expert during the Q&A session following his presentation.

Also, Bay Village's new Service Director, Dan Galli and Council at Large official, Dwight Clark will be attending our meeting (beginning @ 6:30, 2nd floor conference room at city hall) to discuss opportunities to green our community in 2010 and beyond. If you've never been to a Green Team meeting, this would be the one to check-out and bring a friend too.

See you Tuesday!
