Lawns to Legumes Cost Sharing to Promote Pollinator Habitat

“Lawns to Legumes” is a new State-funded initiative to protect pollinators, especially the rusty patched bumblebee.

A cost-sharing and technical outreach program is being set up for homeowners who want to enhance their landscape by adding pollinator-friendly habitat, including native plants. Priority is being given to areas in the State that can support the endangered rusty patched bumblebee. This includes most of Washington County.

We’ll discuss the State-wide program and then details of how Washington County residents can participate.
