Midwest Pesticide Action Center is dedicated to reducing the health risks and environmental impacts of pesticides by promoting safer alternatives. The Midwest Grows Green project’s overarching goal is to support the restoration and preservation of regional watersheds and to reduce the negative impacts of synthetic lawn care chemicals on pollinators, people and pets. The grant funds efforts to involve citizens in the Calumet region to serve as environmental stewards while better understanding natural lawn care and organic gardening techniques.
