I was fortunate yesterday to encounter the Ridgefield Subdivision Nature Park in Fishers, Indiana. This is a 6.5 acre wildlife- and people-friendly stretch of prairie and meadow that was recently a flat, Canada geese-infested stretch of grass.
The Ridgefield subdivision saved several thousand dollars the very first year by replacing the grass with native plants. The financial and ecological benefits are amazing.
I've never wanted to live in Hamilton County (oy, the traffic!), but if the rest of the county follows the lead of Ridgefield, it could be tempting. Thanks to Dan McCord and the Hamilton County Urban Conservation Association for leading the way.
