About

Altlawns is a community-based organization. Our mission is to create biodiverse native habitats in place of lawns by providing community education and support to local residents. Ava J. T. McKnight started Altlawns as a Facebook group in response to online resident questions and concerns around native habitat, stormwater issues, and climate change. Altlawns now has almost 700 members with robust online discussions, in-person events, a leadership team, and a crew of dedicated of volunteers.
