Lawn Extension Ordinances/Cues for Care

Periodically, enforcement of Ann Arbor?s Lawn Extension Ordinances collides with people in our native plant community.? At the heart of the resulting?and frequently heated?discussions on the listserv is a frustration over the seemingly random enforcement of the ordinance.?? We are going to take up the legal issues behind the ordinances and graphically explain their function.?? Then, we will explore the ways in which Professor Joan Iverson Nassauer?s ?Cues to Care? can help us reduce the conflict over these ordinances and help, as well, with increasing acceptance of natural landscaping in our neighborhoods.
