Get your lawn on the map.
Show good neighbor leadership across Iowa.
Identifying leaders in Iowa is IMPORTANT! Join your lawn to our Good Neighbor network! Whether you’ve been pesticide-free for years, or just now learning managing your lawn without pesticides, Good Neighbor Iowa wants to recognize you.
Not only does this allow us to celebrate your decision to manage turf that is safe for wildlife and children alike, but helps us in our role as the reporting entity for the Iowa Department of Public Health’s Healthy Iowans: Iowa’s Health Improvement Plan 2017 – 2021; one of the goals of this plan is to reduce statewide application of urban pesticides for community health–keeping track of your chemical-free turf will help achieve these goals.
