About

Altlawns is a community-based organization. Our mission is to create biodiverse native habitats in place of lawns, patios, and balconies 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.
