Welcome to  your one stop portal for eco-friendly hints and tips for Brevard County.

Since 2003, Project Backyard Brevard has been providing information for Brevard County residents who want to do their part  to Take Care of their Share of the local environment.…their own homes and yards. Our aim is to provide information to all residents, old and new alike, about ways that they can save energy, conserve and protect water, and make sound environmental choices on their own piece of property.  We believe that each citizen can make a difference in helping to create a healthy environment and our goal is to provide the information that helps them do that.

Many builders are taking the initiative to learn the principles of green building to create more environmentally sensitive homes. But each property owner also has the opportunity to do their part to help protect the environment. Whether it’s undertaking some green remodeling, eliminating chemicals in the landscape, or taking steps to conserve and protect water, each small decision is a step in the right direction for preserving the natural beauty of Brevard County.

The result is lower electric bills, lower water bills, cleaner natural water supplies and yards that are safe for birds, butterflies and other local wildlife.

As property owners, each of us has the opportunity to affect not just the environmental health of our land, but because of the interconnectedness of all land and all species, the continued health of the entire planet.

As you go through the pages of this website, we encourage you to contact us and let us know what you find helpful or what you find lacking. If you have a suggestion for information that should be included, please let us know. In the meantime, we encourage you to begin taking steps to preserve your section of the local environment….your own homes and yards.

Together we can make a difference to the health and beauty of our entire planet. We all just need to learn to Take Care of Our Share.
