Restoring Native Habitat

Grow Not Mow is a community program powered by volunteers like you and championed by the City of Shaker Heights. With this program, we hope to restore and enhance biodiversity in the floodplain of the Doan Brook to make it a better habitat for pollinators, wildlife, and people while also reducing the land area that is mowed. Our plantings will also help to absorb, filter stormwater runoff and prevent soil erosion, and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with mowing.

Please bring gloves for planting trees and dress for the weather, rain or shine. Team leaders will show volunteers how to plant our native species of trees and shrubs. All ages welcome!

Parking: Grow Not Mow Site #3 is located along Shaker Blvd. westbound between Warrensville Center Road and Courtland Blvd. Participants are encouraged to park along S Park Blvd or at the Shaker & Warrensville Rapid Station.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Cuyahoga Arts & Culture, the City of Shaker Heights, and all of our wonderful sponsors, partners and volunteers for making events like this one possible. Thank you!
