| | Pollinator program popular, but many don't follow through on planting plans | The Lawns to Legumes grant program has helped create hundreds of small pollinator friendly gardens across the state. It launched in 2019 with $900,000 from the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund.
Minnesotans embraced the first of its kind statewide pollinator habitat initiative, and it received national attention. More than 7,500 Minnesotans applied for $350 grants in the first year of the program, and available funding covered about 1,000 projects.
The program reimburses people after they plant the garden and submit receipts. But only about half of those first grant recipients did the work and were reimbursed. | |
