Mulch Matters Kit

The Mulch Matters Kit is an educational display about sustainable alternatives to cypress mulch that easily sets up in the corner of the room, and it’s a great addition to any meeting or gathering.

There are three easy steps you can take to help stop the destruction of cypress forests:

1) Set up the Mulch Matters Kit at your next garden club meeting or event or sponsor an event at your home to display it for friends, and show the Save Our Cypress DVD.

2) Ask your friends to take action on this issue by signing a postcard asking Lowe's, Home Depot, and Wal-Mart to live up to their environmental commitments by abandoning the sale of unsustainable cypress mulch and by becoming a member of the Gulf Restoration Network.

3) Package up the Mulch Matters Kit and send it on to another garden club. This way you can help spread the Save Our Cypress message across the nation.

Kits include display posters, mulch samples, "Mulch Matters" brochures, "Don't Clear-Cut the Gulf Coast" postcards, and a Save Our Cypress DVD.

For more information or to order your Mulch Matters Kit, please contact Dan Favre, Campaign Organizer, 504-525-1528 ext 209.
