Green Grass, Clean Water

 

Green Grass, Clean Water

Learn how to grow and maintain a beautiful, healthy lawn while protecting local water resources. Julia Peterson, Coastal Water Resources Specialist at the University of New Hampshire talks about grass seed choices, fertilizer, watering, and mowing – all designed to help give you a great lawn and a healthy environment.
This project is funded, in part, by NOAA’s Office of Coastal Mangement under the Coastal Zone Management Act in conjunction with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services Coastal Program.
