Surfrider Foundation’s Joe Geever, and G3’s Pamela Berstler, stood their ground in the main exhibit hall at 2011 EPA Watersmart Innovations Conference in Las Vegas, NV. As presenters of a poster entitled “Lawn Patrol,” Joe and Pamela had an opportunity to talk with conference participants as they milled about the hall and during the various breaks between sessions. Lawn Patrol is a community component of Surfrider’s Ocean Friendly Gardens (OFG) Program in which people are invited out into their neighborhood to join Surfrider volunteers and others in walking the hood and evaluating homes for Conservation, Permeability, and Retention (C.P.R. to revive our waterways), the key components of OFG. Participants start at a known OFG and then compare neighborhood homes to that model. It’s a great opportunity to meet neighbors and learn about C.P.R. Lawn Patrol is social, educational, and fun!
