What is a Trout
Friendly Lawn?
As part of its mission, Wood River Land Trust works cooperatively with private landowners and local communities to protect and restore the Big Wood River. Because lawn care practices can impact the health of the Big Wood River, we launched our Trout Friendly Lawn Program in partnership with local businesses, nonprofit organizations, and others.
The Program promotes simple steps residents can take in yards and parks throughout the Wood River Valley to conserve water and protect water quality and local fisheries. A certified Trout Friendly Lawn is: 1) water-wise, 2) reduces or eliminates the use of synthetic fertilizers and herbicides, and 3) uses native and drought-tolerant plants.
