Pesticide-Free New Canaan is a growing group of parents and neighbors who are concerned about the negative health effects of lawn pesticides on our families, pets, and water supply. Together with our institutional partner, The New Canaan Nature Center, our volunteers are dedicated to helping others understand the dangers and take practical action. We also work closely with Town Hall, supporting them in their mandate to put children first by staying pesticide-free on all public school grounds and fields. By urging New Canaan to take the Pesticide Free Zone challenge, we hope to improve public health, teach best practices, and connect people to the resources they need to safely beautify their lawns and yards.
