As another growing season is beginning, the Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee encourages people to be mindful and efficient in their water use and to utilize practices that use less water in their residential or business landscaping. The committee\u2019s Sustainable Operations Subcommittee is now offering a free, illustrated, color booklet entitled \u201cXeriscape Landscaping in the Greater Yellowstone Area\u201d which includes suggestions for water-conserving plants and landscaping techniques.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s lower-than-average snow pack across most of the Greater Yellowstone Area has caused renewed interest in water-wise landscaping,\u201d said the booklet\u2019s co-author and project coordinator, Jane Ruchman, Landscape Architect for the Custer Gallatin National Forest. \u201cDecreasing our landscaping water use also decreases the energy required for pumping and distribution.\u00a0 It\u2019s a win-win approach to landscaping.\u201d<\/p>\n

Water and energy conservation is a priority for the Greater Yellowstone Coordinating Committee, a group that is comprised of the Greater Yellowstone Area federal land managers. While some of the West\u2019s great rivers that inspirit and sustain this extraordinary environment originate on federal land in the Greater Yellowstone Area, we all share the responsibility to use our water wisely.<\/p>\n

For a free copy of this booklet, call your local Forest Service office on the Custer Gallatin, Shoshone, Bridger-Teton, Caribou-Targhee national forests, or the Madison Ranger District in Ennis. Blake Nursery, which provided valuable assistance in the creation of the guide, also has copies available for the public in the Big Timber area.\u00a0<\/em>An electronic copy is posted online at\u00a0http:\/\/fedgycc.org\/SOSOverview.htm<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>For more information, contact Jane Ruchman at (406) 587-6966.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
