Both Paula Robinson and Mary Tinder recently won significant grant awards in support of our collective of environmental groups, Make Carlinville Beautiful. Both grants are for pollinator habitat projects.
Paula was awarded $500 by the Illinois Native Plant Society (Central Chapter) to partner with Boy Scouts and 4H members in pollinator plantings and education. Her grant title was “The Carlinville Pollinator Project”.
Mary received $1000 from Trees Forever to support pollinator habitat initiation and conservation. It includes expert advice and support from Kevin Bennett, the field coordinator for that organization.
Congratulations to both Mary and Paula for your hard work in the garden and tireless research and writing at the keyboard. Well done you!
