How to Get the Streamside Plant Grant Program
City of Corvallis Public Works · Corvallis, Oregon, OR
What you get
The City of Corvallis Public Works Streamside Plant Grant Program provides up to $300 worth of native riparian plants per fiscal year (July 1-June 30) to residents planting on or near an urban stream within the Corvallis Urban Growth Boundary. The City purchases and delivers the plants directly rather than reimbursing cash. A resident can reapply for the same property each fiscal year; unspent funds from a prior year do not roll over. Recipients sign a maintenance agreement (weeding, watering for 3-5 years, replacing dead plants) and participate in pre- and post-installation site visits (City of Corvallis Public Works, confirmed by Lynne Warwick, PW Environmental Services & Regulatory Affairs, September 2026).
