Crow Wing SWCD grants and cost-share programs

How it works

Crow Wing Soil & Water Conservation District maintains a public list of current and recent past grants. The page is an index of conservation projects, not a dedicated homeowner wildfire mitigation program page.

What the money covers

The listed projects cover items such as buffer law, conservation contracts, conservation delivery, soil health, no-till drill equipment, well monitoring, shoreline and stormwater work, streambank protection, education, and other land/conservation projects. The page does not describe a homeowner hardening scope for wildfire risk reduction.

Amounts and matching

The page shows project totals and funding splits for each listed grant. Examples on the page include 2026 Buffer Law at $10,000 funded by SWCD/BWSR with $0 landowner/other match, 2026 Conservation Contracts at $24,792, 2026 Conservation Delivery at $36,708, 2026 Keep It Clean Campaign at $44,000 with $40,000 funded and $4,000 matched, 2026 No-Till Seed Drill Equipment at $20,000, 2026 Well Reading at $1,260, 2026 Soil Health Education at $2,000, 2026 Soil Health Landowner Event at $5,000, and 2026 Whitefish Lake HUC 10 Phase 2 at $310,191.44. The page does not present a homeowner wildfire-home-hardening reimbursement amount or matching formula.

How to apply

The page provides contact information for SWCD staff, including Tasha at 218-828-6197 and tasha@cwswcd.org, but it does not give a homeowner application process for wildfire mitigation funding.

Timing and deadlines

The page is organized by grant year with tabs for 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021, but it does not state an open homeowner wildfire program, deadline, or closing date.
