How to apply for North Dakota rebates

  1. 1.Apply for pre-approval before you start. Starting work first is the most common reason applications get denied.
  2. 2.Take before photos of the area you plan to convert, then matching after photos from the same angles once the work is done.
  3. 3.Apply early in the fiscal year. Many programs are first-come, first-served. Each program below links to the provider for current rules. See our step-by-step lawn replacement guide.

Pollinator Habitat Cost-Share Program

Richland County Soil Conservation District

Native planting
60% of actual cost, up to $250 (small site), $500 (medium site), or $1,000 (large site)

The Richland County Soil Conservation District cost-shares 60 percent of actual cost for pollinator habitat plantings, capped by site size: up to $250 for a small site of 8 to 1,000 square feet, $500 for a medium site under an acre, and $1,000 for a large site over an acre. The 8 square foot floor is real, so an ordinary front-yard bed qualifies at the small tier. Choose one covered planting type per application: Native Pocket Planting, Pollinator Beneficial Trees and Shrubs, Pollinator Meadow, or Community Orchard. Cost share applies to site preparation, seed or tree costs. Receipts and seed tags are required for payment along with photos of the process and the finished planting, and one payment is issued at approved project completion. Seed may be sourced through the district; buying your own requires receipts and an approved vendor list (Richland County SCD, Pollinator Habitat Application; last verified August 2026).

Wahpeton, Hankinson, Lidgerwood, Wyndmere, FairmountPre-approval requiredNo deadline published. Applications accepted on a rolling basis.

The Community Orchard option is a pollinator planting of fruit trees, shrubs, and flowers, not a general food garden grant.
