The Town of Mt. Crested Butte Passes New Landscaping Code Ordinance
On March 19th the Town of Mt. Crested Butte voted to pass an outdoor landscaping code ordinance that will help their community grow with less water. The new code encourages keeping mountain meadows intact, reducing the amount of irrigated turf, and plants that use less water and are drought tolerant. HCCA has worked on drafting this code with the Town and SJC Landscape Architects for several years to get it just right. Way to go, Mt. CB!
