"We've been hearing from a lot of landowners that really just want to get started on habitat with or without cost share funding, so we're trying to address the diverse needs that we've been hearing from land owners that are interested in the program," Shaw said. "For people that are within the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee zone they'll be eligible for $500," said Shaw. “People in our secondary pollinator corridors in the state will be eligible for $350, and then people outside of those two areas will be eligible for $150."The goal is to create a lot of small areas of habitat in both urban and rural residential yards that will provide food and shelter for bees and other insects.
The Board of Water and Soil Resources is the lead agency for the program, but is teaming up with Blue Thumb Partners, a coalition of public and private groups offering guidance and funding to promote landscapes that help protect water quality.
