The conversations I have had with neighbors over the past week highlight how much we value the safety of our shared outdoor spaces. It is clear that moving toward sustainable maintenance practices is not just a preference but a necessity for the wellbeing of our community. I am currently organizing our documentation to present a formal request to the Board.

Seeing the growing momentum behind this request confirms that many of us share the same vision for a healthier environment in our community. This steady progress suggests that the desire for sustainable land management is deeply rooted among those who call Parkfairfax home.

Lets ensure that The board, especially Barbara Turpyn, who does not live in Parkfairfax, make a decision based on residents not investments.
