WHY? WHAT'S THE ISSUE?
Ladera Ranch is a community built around families, parks, schools, trails, and outdoor spaces. As parents, residents, and neighbors, we all share a common goal: creating the safest and healthiest environment possible for our children, pets, and future generations.
Many communities throughout California have begun adopting safer landscape management practices that reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and herbicides while maintaining beautiful, well-kept public spaces. We believe Ladera Ranch has an opportunity to be a leader in this effort.
Non-Toxic Ladera Ranch advocates for practical, science-informed solutions that prioritize public health, environmental stewardship, and transparency. Our goals include promoting safer landscaping practices, reducing chemical exposure in common areas, and ensuring residents have clear information about landscape management practices that may affect their families and pets.
We support a balanced approach that protects both the appearance of our community and the well-being of the people who call Ladera Ranch home. By working together, residents, community leaders, and landscape professionals can help create a healthier future for everyone.
Join us in supporting safer landscaping practices, greater transparency, and a healthier Ladera Ranch.
Impact to our children &
pets...
"We’ve been studying the impact of toxins on children for the past 30 years and reached the inescapable conclusion: little things matter. We’ve discovered that extremely low levels of toxins can impact brain development. The American Academy of Pediatrics states that there is “no safe level of pesticide exposure for children.”
