Parkwood East has been in the Fort Collins Sustainable Neighborhoods Network since 2021. “In Fort Collins, the city government will reimburse residents who swap their non-native grass lawns to native, low-water-use landscaping and natural grasses,” says April Neuhaus, a local real estate agent with Neuhaus Real Estate.” “These eco-friendly initiatives are seen across town, including in our extensive network of bike lanes and trails.” The sustainability network partners neighborhoods with city employees to plan sustainability events and help with landscaping initiatives. Low-water-use landscaping is encouraged throughout Fort Collins to save water in the community’s dry summer climate. Pollinator gardens and bird feeders are common front-lot features. Residents host toy and clothing swaps to reduce waste, along with block parties and community workshops.
