SLFPA-East maintains 3,633 acres of levee turf across 14 zones in three levee districts. Mowing targets vary by zone based on size, location, and operating conditions. This dashboard shows monthly progress against those targets using a simple Green / Amber / Red status, as defined in the “How to read the zone cards” section below.

How to read the zone cards
Each card shows how much of the zone's monthly mowing target has been completed in April 2026. The bar fills with cumulative acres mowed against the monthly target (zone acres × cycles per month). The dark tick marks where Cycle 1 should land for zones running more than once per month.
- On pace — at or above 90% of monthly target
- At risk — 80 to 89% of monthly target
- Behind — under 80% of monthly target
