Shade Your Stream is a grant funded initiative to incentivize landowners to restore healthy streamside vegetation on their land. 

 

Do you have an eroding stream on your property that you are concerned about?

​

Fill out our Intake Form.

​

After you fill out the form:

​

1. We will follow up and schedule a site visit if needed.

2. At the site visit, we will determine your needs and eligibility for cost share** for invasive control and stabilization using natural materials and native plants.

3. We will develop a planting plan and confirm your cost share.

4. If you decide to follow through, you will sign a landowner agreement and planting will proceed.

 

**Cost for landowner is $1.50 per foot for the first 100 feet and $1 per foot after that. Ex. A 200 foot section of stream will cost $250.
