Local Grants for Native Plants

Thanks to Blue Thumb for sharing this Great Idea.

The post reads,

‘If you are thinking about installing a native planting, rain garden, or other project for pollinators and clean water, late fall is a great time to plan. As part of planning, consider searching for grant opportunities for your project. All Minnesotans are eligible to apply for Lawns to Legumes, a $400 reimbursement-based grant for pollinator habitat. (Applications for Spring 2025 grants close on November 30, 2024.) But there may also be local funding available to you. [This is a household/individual grant – apply if interested! It is not available to groups or organizations – but read on!]

For many local grants, information and applications for 2025 funding opportunities are open now or will be available soon.’

The blog shares numerous localized grants – by watershed and/or county across Minnesota.

They also connect folx to Minnesota SWCDs that host native tree and shrub sales in the spring.

Pollinator plots are a fabulous community building experience: folx from many different perspectives on climate care can agree that healthy pollinator habitats are essential for food production, water and air quality, and species proliferation. All generations can work on various aspects of the project – together. The entire community can get on board – no matter where the ground is located.

Plan now for more pollinators – the world, our nation, and our communities need them!!
