Join the Less Lawn More Life Challenge!
By the Bronxville Green Committee
April 29, 2026: This spring, the Bronxville Green Committee is partnering with Plan It Wild, a landscape design firm based in Bedford that promotes healthy landscaping, to offer a unique program called the Less Lawn More Life Challenge. It's fun, easy, and free.
The challenge is simple. Sign up and receive weekly emails that provide action steps for you to take as they work for you. No commitment!
Not quite ready for action steps? No problem, sign up to just listen and learn along the way. The goal is progress – not perfection!
What are the benefits?
-Learn how to turn your outdoor space into a beautiful, healthy, thriving habitat, one small step at a time. Whether you have a formal garden, child-friendly yard, tiny plot, a few containers, or shared gardens at a co-op, you can participate!
-Learn about native plants that are suited to our region, manage water (and flooding!) on your property, eliminate harmful chemicals, and connect with conservation efforts in our community.
-No experience needed. No lawn required. Just you, your patch of earth, and a community of thousands doing the same thing all across America.
Let’s get started! Sign up HERE.
-The challenge kicks off on May 7th at 7 p.m. with a live webinar with Robin Wall Kimmerer, New York-based botanist, author of New York Times bestselling Braiding Sweetgrass, and a celebrated voice weaving together indigenous wisdom and plant science. You’re automatically registered when you join the challenge.
-It all starts with the Wildr Score, a free digital assessment on the ecological health of your yard or garden, however big or small. Finding your Wildr Score can take just a few minutes, or longer if you want to make a more thorough analysis.
-Over the course of 12 weeks, from May 8 until July 24, participants will be guided through a series of fun, expert-led weekly challenges that show up in their inbox every Thursday. You can join any time, receive all the materials, and participate as much as you like.
-Over the following weeks, you’ll be invited to go deeper with industry leaders forging this new wave of conservation via a series of live webinars and Q&A’s.
What is the result?!
A healthy, thriving ecosystem in your yard! Watching birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds return to your yard isn't just joyful for you, it's a gift to your kids, your community, and the living ecosystem we all depend on.
Join the Less Lawn More Life Challenge! It's all FREE and it starts May 7th.
