Individual residents can play a significant role in increasing landscape resiliency by protecting pollinator populations, planting deep rooted naïve plants and managing stormwater runoff.
The following are helpful resources for residents.
Planting for pollinator protection - The Lawns to Legumes Program provides cost-share funding, coaching and technical resources to help Minnesota residents protect pollinators.
Native Plants - The Board of Water and Soil Resource Feature Plant Articles highlight plant species that play important roles in providing wildlife habitat, sequestering carbon and helping manage stormwater runoff.
Stormwater Management – Climate changes is resulting in increased extreme precipitation. The installation of raingardens can be an effective way to capture excess rainfall. The Blue Thumb Raingardens page provides step by step guidance.
