Weed ordinances serve to combat problems associated with neglect. But how can this purpose be balanced with a goal to permit or encourage landowners to embrace ecologically beneficial landscape practices? The Model Naturalized Landscape Ordinance is a tool for achieving this balance. The model has benefited from peer review but will remain labeled as draft until WeConservePA collects and considers additional comment. Please send comments ASAP to Justin Hollinger at [email protected]. Though labeled "draft," the model is suitable for adaptation and adoption by municipalities now.
