Reno Nevada Working towards Pesticide free!
Sandy Rowley, a local activist, worked for the better part of a year to educate local authorities on pollinator friendly alternatives to managing school playgrounds, parks and public spaces.
She secured a national non profit, Beyond Pesticides and their experts in organic land care to train over 45 municipalities throughout Northern Nevada. KUNR Story here.
Currently we have these locations in a transition period for organic land care:
State Capitol Building for Nevada
State Legislature Nevada
3 large use public parks in Carson City Nevada
13 large use parks in Reno Nevada
2 large use parks in Sparks Nevada
1 Elementary School in Sparks Nevada

and several other pesticide free and organic land care projects in the works.
