There is no cost for these signs. Please help build awareness about toxic lawn

Thanks immensely for taking a part in this wonderful public education effort! By
placing one of these signs in your yard, you are helping to educate friends and
neighbors about the vibrant connection between our lawns, and the rivers and
streams running into the great Puget Sound all around us! These signs are made
to withstand the weather and rain for up to the whole year, but if your signs
wears out, we'll gladly send you another one!
The 2006 Salmon Lawnsign campaign has been made possible with the help of the Russell Family Foundation and the Ben & Jerry's Foundation, and many independent contributors. In 2007, SeaWolf will be partnering with Global Research & Rescue on a variety of projects, including our next Salmon Friendly Lawnsign campaign.
