Join Us for the Managed Native Garden Registry Town Hall
Please join us for a Town Hall on March 2 from 7-8 pm on the proposed Managed
Native Garden Registry (10-32-055) for the City of Chicago. The Town Hall
is co-hosted by Illinois Environmental Council, Field Museum, Blacks in
Green, and Advocates for Urban Agriculture.

The ordinance, introduced by Alderman Brian Hopkins (2nd) with 15
co-sponsors, protects residents with native gardens and landscaping from
unwarranted citations, ticketing, and fines under the existing weeds and
nuisance ordinance.

Since the Department of the Environment was dissolved in 2011, weed
citations have increased, resulting in a number of cases where native
gardeners were fined $600. Residents and local sustainability organizations
have been cited, which has the perverse consequence of discouraging native
plantings that can reduce basement flooding, help purify the air, and
provide habitat for wildlife, like the monarch butterfly. The Managed
Native Garden Registry would allow Chicagoans to register planted native
gardens on their properties at no cost, shielding them from these citations
and fines.

At the Town Hall, you can learn more about the proposed native gardens
registry and ask any questions, helping us to move this ordinance forward.
Representatives from the offices of co-sponsoring aldermen and the
Department of Planning and Development will be present.
