At the Neighborhood Scale
- Think. What are things you don’t like seeing in your neighborhood? Is there too much litter?
- Plan. Speak with your neighbors about how they’d like to see you neighborhood look.
- Act. Determine what needs to be done and contact appropriate organizations to help. To purchase vacant land, reach out to the Lucas County Land Bank and City of Toledo Division of Real Estate.
- Maintain. Create a neighborhood management plan to care for new plantings, keep lots clean, report dumping, and share neighborhood concerns.
- Go Beyond.
- Use native plantings for yard landscaping and vacant lots to attract pollinators and reduce maintenance requirements.
- Arrange neighborhood clean-up days to help neighbors with necessary household work.
