Green Neighbor

What is the Green Neighbor program?

The goal of the Green Neighbor Certification Program is to encourage homeowners in Central Kentucky to participate in environmentally friendly practices in their own backyard by providing the resources and recognizing their efforts.

How does the certification work?

Participants complete action items under several categories, including water quality, lawn care, plant installation, wildlife, and community. These actions add up to create a lasting impact on communities in Central Kentucky by improving lawn health, reducing the amount of yard waste sent to landfills, providing habitat for native species, and reducing the amount of pollutants in the water.

The pilot of the Green Neighbor Certification Program in Danville will run through June 30, 2023.

*You must complete and submit the form and get a score of 30 points to get a yard sign. The scorecard provides information and resources for participants to improve their score or recognition for their efforts with a points value for items they already practice at home.
