Harbor Friendly Yards Program

Clean Up Sound & Harbors (CUSH), a non-profit environmental group in Southeastern Connecticut striving to clean up and protect Fishers Island Sound and its coves, inlets, bays, rivers, and harbors, has initiated an initiative, Harbor Friendly Yards, designed to encourage and educate property owners to discontinue the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides and to plant native species and sediment-filtering trees, shrubs, grass, and groundcovers.
