Backyard Prairie Pollinator Program
Backyard Prairie Pollinator Program
The LPSNRD Backyard Prairie Pollinator Program is offered to all landowners in the district hoping to enhance native grass and forb diversity on their property. The program provides local-ecotype native seed at no-cost to the landowner! This program will help enhance pollinator habitat across the district. Participants will be responsible for site preperation, seeding, and maintenance of the plot.
Ideal sites for the seed would be in full sun with few or no trees (a few native shrubs are ok) and generally on the east, west, or south side of buildings.
Each household and property in the district is eligible for up to 1/4 acre of seed, while there is no minimum plot size. and will be considered first-come-first-serve. Once the allotment of seed is distrubited, the program will close for the year.
We are now accepting applicants for the program and plan to begin seed pick-up in mid-February. Seed pick-up will be at the LPSNRD office (3125 Portia St., Lincoln).
