DNR Urban Wildlife Habitat Cost Share Assistance Available

Calling all property owners and managers— a new DNR program is providing financial assistance for creation of wildlife habitat, specifically pollinator habitat, on urban lands In Hamilton County. Individual properties, HOA common areas, and more are eligible for this funding immediately. These funds can combine with SWCD cost share funds for even more assistance for your project. Whether you’ve received cost share assistance through the SWCD in the past or are starting a new project, contact the SWCD to learn more about the assistance and financial resources available. These DNR funds are time sensitive so do not wait!

Project examples:
 Warm or cool season native grass establishment
 Grain or legume food plots
 Tree/shrub establishment
 Woodland edge feathering, fencerow rehab, etc.
 Interseeding forbs
 Native pollinator habitat and native shrubs

For more information contact Claire Lane, Backyard Conservation Coordinator with Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District.
