Planting for pollinators can be beautiful and low maintenance. The City of Charlotte offers a free registry for property owners with qualifying, well-maintained pollinator habitats and naturalistic landscapes. Once approved, those habitats qualify for an exemption from the nuisance vegetation ordinance. Register Online: Pollinator Habitat & Naturalistic Landscape Registration, or call 311 for help.
Join the movement to support pollinators and create natural spaces for wildlife in our city!
By registering your maintained pollinator garden or naturalistic landscape with the City of Charlotte, you’re helping to build vital urban corridors for pollinators, native wildlife, and naturalistic landscapes. Plus, once your application is approved, your maintained habitat will be exempt from the City of Charlotte’s nuisance vegetation ordinance.
You also have the option to put your habitat on our interactive map, which highlights our community’s growing commitment to conservation. Simply let us know on the application if you’d like your site included. Whether you choose to be on the map or not, your approved maintained habitat or landscape is exempt from the city’s ordinance.
