Lawn disease: Watch for brown patch and large patch, fungal diseases that cause areas of grass to turn brown. Since treatment is difficult, prevention with proper cultural practices (like less water in winter) is key. The disease becomes active when the soil temperature, measured 2–4 in. deep, is between 65°F and 75°F and goes dormant when the weather warms in May. See Turf Diseases: https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/topic_turf_diseases

ATV RESTRICTIONS
At no time may ATV's be driven onto DRA's (Drainage Retention Areas) for recreational purposes. Doing "wheelies" and tearing up the ground plays havoc on these properties and is illegal. Likewise, ATV's are not to be driven on vacant or private property to reach the surrounding woods, especially before sunup or after sunset. Again, this is illegal.
