Lawn Care Survey; Your participation is needed !!

The Winooski Natural Resources Conservation District on behalf of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant and partner organizations, are interested in your lawn care practices.

We are reaching out to adults (18+) in the Lake Champlain Basin to help us understand how people manage their lawns. We are interested in learning about your lawn care practices as a major source of pollution to Lake Champlain is phosphorus. Since this nutrient can travel from people’s homes via erosion from lawns, understanding how people care for their lawns can help us and our partners develop educational materials to help promote best practices that minimize runoff and produce healthy soils, which stay in place.

We would be grateful if you would be willing to spend about 7 minutes to complete a survey to share how you manage your lawn and where you get your lawn care information. Use this link to access the survey http://tinyurl.com/LCLawncare

If you have questions or concerns about this survey or our outreach efforts related to promoting healthy soils, please contact Dr. Kristine Stepenuck at 802-656-8504 or kstepenu@uvm.edu.

Thank you for your assistance.
