Get a grant for your eco-friendly landscape projects

Environmental stewardship grants are available to help fund eco-friendly gardens and landscape projects that promote environmental stewardship, improve air quality, build soil structure and provide habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Eco-friendly projects also improve Bloomington’s neighborhoods and community.

The grants are intended to support projects that:

• Increase the capacity of the watershed to store or infiltrate water.

• Improve water quality by reducing the nutrients and sediments that flow into lakes, streams, wetlands and rivers.

• Preserve, protect and restore native ecosystems and wildlife habitats.

Typically, grants are awarded to cover up to 50-75% of a project’s cost for professional consultation, engineering, labor and materials.
