[alt text: Text that says, "People [say] 'I never see butterflies or lightning bugs in my yard. Their yard: (colon)". Below the text is a photo of a birds-eye view of a large house with an equally large yard. The lawn is covered in standard turfgrass (probably Kentucky bluegrass) that has been recently mowed.]
Tell me you don't have an HOA without telling me you don't have an HOA.
The fun thing about HOA boards is that, like many smaller semi governmental bodies, they can be overtaken with generally modest changes in voter turnout and engagement. Usurp the board; fines for ecologically detrimental parcels.
