The Ocean Friend Gardens (OFG) Program got some great news coverage in the "Santa Cruz Sentinel." The article is entitled, "Go Green - Put a LID On It" and is written by Ron Duncan, manager for the Soquel Creek Water District, which promotes water conservation.
Ron writes, "The Surfrider Foundation is known for its efforts to protect the ocean. They recognize the benefits of employing LID techniques to prevent one of the main causes of ocean pollution by starting at the "root" of the problem; upstream pollution. I think most landscapes could use a little CPR. Keep your eyes peeled, you may see an Ocean Friendly Garden in your neighborhood."
