The goal of “Resilient Yards 2025” is to continue to promote landcare practices that improve South Portland’s community and ecosystem resilience. Now in the program’s third year, we are launching a Resilient Yards Coaching Program focusing on replacing lawn areas with native habitat gardens. Volunteer coaches, who bring either Resilient Yard program experience or Master Gardener expertise, will offer personalized guidance, advice, and support to participants. The program will also include resources such as a set of native plants, compost, and mulch to help people get started. The coaching model emphasizes collaboration, resource sharing, and community-building.
