On
Earth Day, Stony Brook Millstone
Watershed Association was pleased to honor Janssen Pharmaceutica
Inc. as our first certified River-Friendly
business.
To achieve this certification, they have met goals for water
quality protection, water conservation, wildlife habitat improvement and
education and outreach.
For example, they have transformed manicured lawns into
wildflower meadows, developed an integrated pest management plan, and
planted a naturalized buffer around their farm pond.
Independently reviewed by a Technical Advisory Committee, Janssen
has implemented certification requirements that enhance and protect the
natural resources on its campus.
They showcase that environmentally sound landscaping practices
can be cost-effective, attractive and practical. For
