How to Get the Streamside Plant Grant Program

What you get

Before you start
Do not remove turf or begin work before you have written approval. This program requires pre-approval. Starting early can disqualify the project even if everything else is correct.
Plants are provided in-kind (the City purchases and delivers them), not a cash reimbursement. Application deadline is typically late July each year; the official page did not show a year-stamped date for the current cycle - confirm before quoting a specific date.
