We've Solved the Unbuildable Land Problem!

 

Public Relations

  • MUC is an opportunity to give something back to the community.
  • Increasing biodiversity and native species has many long-lasting benefits for residents.
  • Protecting land prevents unsightly low-density sprawl.

We've figured out how to help property owners and give back to the community. Help us reach our goal!

Cost Savings

Donating unusable, unbuildable land to MUC benefits landowners in many ways, including:

  • Reduced landscaping costs
  • Lowered liability insurance
  • Lower real estate taxes


A stone wall sits in front of colorful sprays of flowers standing a foot to two feet high in front. A bench in the middle provides a place to sit and listen to buzzing bees. Higher flowers are behind the bench. The lawn is in an urban setting: there are houses visible behind the garden.

This lawn replacement project provides beautiful pollinator habitat. The old grass could not sustain so many butterflies or birds.
