Presenters:

Rick Hansen - Minnesota State Representative
Description:
Lawns to Legumes is a new program in Minnesota, the first of its kind in the US and supported by state legislation, that offers a combination of workshops, coaching, planting guides and cost-share funding for installing pollinator-friendly native plantings in residential lawns. The program also includes a public education campaign to raise awareness for pollinator habitat projects and will establish demonstration neighborhoods that showcase best practices.
Learn more about how the program came to be from those responsible for its creation and implementation.
