Minnesota climate-smart food systems | Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Minnesota climate-smart food systems 18376: GovDelivery - Climate Smart Food Systems MNPCA_575 Peatland restoration, $20 million The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) will facilitate programs to protect and restore more than 10,000 acres of peatlands in Minnesota, which absorb and store climate pollution.
The DNR will restore degraded peatlands on DNR-administered lands and distribute a portion of the funds to Tribal Nations for peatland restoration on Tribal Nation lands. The work will also support culturally significant food sources and provide a scalable, cost-effective model for future peatland restoration.
The DNR’s Peatland Resilience Initiative webpage will be regularly updated with information about this project as well as the DNR’s other peatland resiliency work. BWSR’s peatland restoration efforts include permanent easements on private lands under the Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM) Reserve program and restorations accomplished through agreements with other agencies and organizations.
The primary goal of this work is to restore peatland hydrology to a continuously saturated and stable condition. Eligible sites must contain drained or otherwise altered wetlands that are determined to be restorable. Applications for peatland restoration are being accepted on a continuous basis.
BWSR is actively seeking to partner with federal and state agencies, Tribal Nations, local governments, and conservation organizations to extend the reach of these restoration programs. More information is available on BWSR’s peatlands webpage . Lacy Levine ( Lacy.

On June 11, 2026, U.S. District Judge Richard Gergel ruled that the EPA's February 2025 termination of the $2.8 billion Environmental and Climate Justice Block Grant Program — created by Section 60201 of the Inflation Reduction Act — was arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful. The ruling voids the termination but does not order the EPA to resume the program, leaving the September 30, 2026 statutory deadline as the binding constraint. For the 116 grantees and the coalition of nonprofits, cities, and tribal partners that were already in award negotiations, the next 105 days will determine whether the program survives in any operational form or migrates entirely to the Court of Federal Claims as a damages action.
