Lawns to Legumes

The Lawns to Legumes program offers a combination of workshops, coaching, planting guides and cost-share funding for installing pollinator-friendly native plantings in residential lawns .  This competitively-funded program is intended to enhance pollinator habitat in key corridors, raise awareness for residential pollinator protection, and showcase best practices.  Funding is provided through the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) and will be targeted in priority areas to benefit the Rusty patched bumblebee and other at-risk species.

Lawns to Legumes Demonstration Neighborhood
 Demonstration neighborhoods are community projects intended to enhance pollinator habitat in key corridors, raise awareness for residential pollinator protection, and showcase best practices. Organizations overseeing a demonstration neighborhood will work with local residents to install four types of beneficial planting practices: native pocket plantings, pollinator beneficial trees and shrubs, pollinators lawns and pollinator meadows. 

If you are not located within the demonstration neighborhood there is still opportunity to be involved in the Lawns to Legumes program!
