Nutrients and Agricultural Input Support

Trout Friendly Lawns

Nutrient pollution from lawn care practices, such as fertilizing and overwatering, are impacting waterways in the Teton region. Excess nutrients can lead to increased algae and aquatic plant growth, which can harm aquatic habitats and disrupt the ecosystem. The Trout Friendly Lawns program is designed to be easy for both residents and landscaping professionals to implement. By committing to Trout Friendly landscaping practices, the community can collectively improve water quality for the health of all the plants, insects, fish, wildlife, and humans that rely on clean water. The program has over 100 residents, businesses, and public parks committed to Trout Friendly landscaping practices.  Learn more.
