Service
The Community Watershed Stewardship Program provides funding for native plants that provide environmental benefits. Vouchers from nurseries are available to community groups or individuals planning to improve community spaces.
The one-page form will take 10-15 minutes to complete.
Notice: Native Plant Certificates are currently on pause as we review and assess how best to serve our community in the future. We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process and look forward to sharing updates when the program resumes.
