The Take Care of Your Share™ Program was started as a means to provide solutions for every citizen that is ready to help "take care of their share" of the environment … their own homes and yards. Our aim is to provide information to all residents, old and new alike, about what they can do as individuals to help protect the wildlife habitat and natural ecosystems that make our land so special and unique. By focusing on their own homes and property, we believe that each citizen can make a tremendous difference to the environmental health of the entire planet.

By changing a few actions around their homes and yards, each citizen can do their part to take care of the environment. The result is lower electric bills, lower water bills, cleaner natural water supplies and yards that are safe havens for local wildlife.

The best solution for our environment is to educate and encourage all residents, old and new alike, to NOT impact the natural environment that surrounds them and to do their part to restore some of what was displaced by their home.

Our goal is to be your one-stop source for information that will help you to create or preserve a healthy environment. By providing links to information that is already available and working with local experts to create what is still needed, we can help you make the right choices to create a yard that will be a healthy and beautiful habitat for you, your family and the local wildlife.

We hope that we can inspire you to Take Care of Your Share™ to help leave a healthy environment for generations to come.
