Across the lawns of Falmouth, political signs reflect a battle over the very ground they stand on. “Save our lawns, Yes on Falmouth 1” and “Save our trees” read signs with the banner of “Repeal.” Other signs encourage the opposite vote: “Vote No on 1. Save Our Waters.” and “Limit Pesticides. Protect Falmouth. No on Article 1.” The Nov. 4 referendum will determine whether changes that would strengthen the town’s rules on pesticides and fertilizers should be repealed or go back into effect.
