About the event
Presented by: Roots Down and DeKalb County Super District 6 Commissioner Ted Terry
Traditional "mow-and-blow" landscaping is draining municipal budgets, straining labor, and degrading our ecosystems. There is a better way. This half-day workshop is a must-attend event for DeKalb County leaders interested in ways to transition to a more environmentally and fiscally responsible greenspace management model.
This proven approach will:
Slash Maintenance Costs: Break the cycle of expensive, repetitive labor and chemical inputs.
Mitigate Stormwater Stress: Leverage nature-based solutions to handle runoff and improve climate resilience.
Earn Resident Buy-In: Transform patchy lawns into vibrant, functional spaces that build community pride.
