Get to Know Us
Our group of caring homeowners gathered more than 1,100 signatures to suspend the Ordinance.
We recommended that the Town repeal the Ordinance and pursue becoming a certified Audubon International town. This would have involved a certification process to make Town policies sustainable from an environmental perspective. It would have allowed responsible pesticide and fertilizer usage.
Our goal is to educate Falmouth Homeowners.
The Ordinance bans using pesticides effective in preventing deadly Hemlock and Ash infestations. It bars using pesticides to treat weeds and limits fertilizers to 2 applications per year.
