Charlene's actions
Waterwise Community
Take the Wyland National Mayor's Challenge for Water Conservation
I will discover the power of my community working together by completing the WNMC Pledge and pledging to save 1000. gallons of water.
Waterwise Beautification
Plant a Tree
I will reduce stormwater runoff, promote better air quality, and reduce CO2 from our atmosphere by planting 1 tree(s) in my home or in my community.
Waterwise Beautification
Collect Rain Water
I will create 1 rain garden(s), bioswale(s), or use rain barrels to collect water for outdoor watering needs.
Waterwise Beautification
Use Native Plants When Possible
I will plant 10 square feet of native species, landscape with water-efficient plants in order to reduce general water usage, and minimize fertilizer and pesticide use.
Waterwise Beautification
Share Your Project On Social Media
I will share an image or video of my project on social media and tag @wylandfoundation along with a caption highlighting the benefits of eco-friendly gardening.
Waterwise Beautification
Mulch the Base of Trees and Plants
I will prevent water runoff and increase absorbency by mulching the base of plants and trees at my home or work.
Waterwise Beautification
Hydrozone Your Landscape
I will "hydrozone" my yard and garden so that low water-use, moderate water-use and high water-use plants are grouped together.
Waterwise Community
Litter Removal
I will organize or participate in a volunteer litter clean up to keep trash from entering our storm drains and waterways.
Waterwise Beautification
Annual Irrigation Audit
I will have an irrigation professional audit my irrigation system 1x per year to save water, money, and reduce runoff.
Waterwise Beautification
Use Permeable Pavers
I will reduce polluted runoff and support groundwater recharge where possible by replacing 10 square feet of concrete with permeable surfaces.

REFLECTION QUESTIONWaterwise Beautification Collect Rain WaterAlthough three-fourths of our planet is covered by water, only a small fraction is suitable for use, and yet growing populations are placing more demands on this finite resource. If you had to collect, store, clean and pump your own water, as earlier generations did, how would that change the way you use it today?
