Grants available for yard conservation

The Fayette County Conservation District has a backyard conservation program that provides Lexington residents a cost-share of up to $200 back for conservation efforts at home

If residents are planting a vegetable garden, planting a pollinator garden, installing a bat house, beehive, raingarden, rain barrels or compost bin — all of those things are eligible to be 50 percent reimbursed, up to $200 back.
