THIS WORKSHOP IS CANCELED DUE TO LOW REGISTRATION.

If you live within Marine on St. Croix village and are interested in establishing a pollinator planting, contact Brett Stolpestad (bstolpestad@mnwcd.org or (651) 330-8220 x24). 

Carnelian-Marine-St. Croix Watershed District has grant support from the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes program to enhance pollinator habitat near the St. Croix River in Marine on St. Croix. The goal is to improve habitat for monarch butterflies, rusty patched bumblebees, and other pollinator species, and reduce runoff pollution to the river.

During this info session, we will discuss:

·        Native garden pocket plantings

·        Bee lawn

·        Flowering trees and shrubs

·        Pollinator meadow

Grant funding is available to support approximately 20 planting projects. For this project, Washington Conservation District staff will also help landowners to create a garden design, find native plants and materials for the project, and develop a long-term maintenance plan.
