When it comes to our community and the natural environment, few ideas are more important than resilience. And few are as urgent.

Here's the good news: Your yard can become a resilient landscape -- lovely to look at, lively with pollinators and wildlife, and more adaptable to climate stress.

The Resilient Minnetonka program offers education and resources, technical assistance and other incentives to help residents:

• identify goals for resilience in their yards
• overcome barriers
• and seek funding to implement those goals.
