Incentive Program

Long Island Garden Rewards Program

The Long Island Garden Rewards Program offers reimbursement of up to $500 total for making your yard more water friendly. Homeowners can be reimbursed for installing rain barrels, rain gardens, or native plantings on their properties. These actions reduce the amount of nitrogen pollution entering local waterways and helps conserve water. Funds are limited and available on a first come, first serve basis.

Due to the high participation in the program, as of May 20, 2025 the Long Island Garden Rewards Program is closed. Thank you to all who participated. Check back for when applications open again!
