In this time of extended drought and watering restrictions, southern California residents are searching for lawn alternatives that don't sacrifice visual appeal. Drought-tolerant plantings, especially those utilizing California natives, can provide color, texure, and beauty while reducing water usage, and also benefit the local fauna. By converting a yard or lawn into an Audubon Habitat, homeowners reduce water, fertilizer, and maintenance needs, and at the same time make it more welcoming to birds, humans, butterflies and beneficial insects.
Alan Pollack is an accomplished speaker on converting the resource-needy urban lawn into a bird and butterfly nurturing habitat. He has presented similar programs to schools, garden groups and local chapters of the Audubon Society.
