Technical Assistance & Funding

To request a site visit or learn more about this program, please complete a Resilient Minnetonka application and the program coordinator will get back to you with more information. See below for an outline of components that may be available to you through Resilient Minnetonka.

1. Site visit

A site visit is a free or low-cost one-hour visit to your property, helping you begin to identify and prioritize ways to build resilience into your landscape. While funding lasts, site visits may be provided through the city or your watershed district. Visits are scheduled in blocks through the year, typically May through mid-November..

2. Design

Your site visit will help identify and prioritize a collection of goals for resilience on your property. A planting design is often the next step. Resilient Minnetonka offers education and resources to help with this process, and funding may be available for some projects.

3. Installation

Once you have a design for your resilient planting, it's time to install. Resilient Minnetonka offers guidance and funding for some projects.

4. Residential Buckthorn Pick-up

Good planning is essential for effective buckthorn control. Please visit the Workshops & Education tab, where you’ll find links to our online buckthorn learning module, buckthorn workshop recording, and upcoming buckthorn workshops to help you learn the most effective strategies for success.

If you're interested, apply to the Resilient Minnetonka program to request buckthorn pick-up and other technical assistance to help you be successful.
