Minnesota residents can now apply for assistance to create pollinator habitat in their yards through Lawns to Legumes, a new Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) program!

Lawns to Legumes offers free workshops, planting guides, and opportunities to apply for reimbursement of gardening costs associated with establishing residential pollinator habitat. The Scott Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) has received a Neighborhood Grant for Lawns to Legumes, providing funding for Scott County residents to establish residential pollinator habitat.

Call the Scott SWCD to apply for funding and receive help designing your project at 952-492-5425!

Even better? Get a neighbor to join you! Habitat connectivity is important for pollinators – the more patches of flowering plants available to them across your neighborhood the better!
