Boosts funding and expands who can plant pollinator-friendly plants along roads.
This bill would increase the money set aside for planting pollinator-friendly plants along highways and roadsides. It would also let more groups, like certain nonprofit organizations, apply for bigger grants to do this work. This helps support bees and other pollinators important for our environment.
Today, the roadside pollinator program sets aside $2 million annually through the government's budget year 2026. Grants are capped at $150,000. State Departments of Transportation, Federal Land Management Agencies, and Indian Tribes can participate. After this bill, the program would set aside $5 million annually from the government's budget year 2026 through 2031. Grants could be up to $500,000. Certain nonprofits would also be able to apply and lead projects.
