Thank you for participating in the Your Florida Yard and You survey.

This study is conducted by your county Extension office and the Program Development and Evaluation Center at the University of Florida. Our goal is to better understand how Floridians think about their yards and how they care for them. Your responses will help us find out what we can do to help homeowners create a Florida Friendly Landscape. The survey will take about 15 minutes to complete.

You are one of a small number of persons chosen to participate in this study. Since your responses will also represent others who were not selected, we hope that you will complete the survey as soon as possible. Your participation is voluntary. You do not have to answer any question that you do not wish to answer.

We believe that there are no risks to you from participating in this study. There also are no direct benefits or compensation to you for participating. If you have questions about your rights, contact the UFIRB office, Box 112250, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL 32611-2250.

We will keep your answers confidential to the extent provided by law. Your name will not be used in any report. We will only use your answers after they have been combined with the other respondents’ answers.

If you have any questions, please call 352-392-0502, ext. 246, or send an email to gdisrael@ufl.edu. We hope that you enjoy completing the questionnaire.

Sincerely,
