Subsidy available for greening your garden
With the climate adaptation subsidy, residents receive compensation for planting a tree, greening (or de-paving) their garden, or creating a green roof.
Subsidies are also available for disconnecting rainwater or installing a rain barrel. The municipality of Nunspeet aims to encourage residents to make their gardens more climate-resilient with this subsidy.
Heavy rainfall, heatwaves, and drought cause many problems, especially in paved gardens. These issues can be prevented by making the garden more climate-resilient. This is what we call climate adaptation. Residents will then suffer less from heat, drought, and waterlogging in their gardens.
