Backyard Habitat Grants

Grab a shovel and restore your stream or shoreline! You can receive up to $2,500 for stream and shoreline restoration projects through the Backyard Habitat Grant Program.

Eligible projects are located on private property in Kitsap County, and may include:

• stream side or shoreline plantings

• noxious weed removal

• stream enhancement projects such as large woody debris, stream gravel placement, and fish barrier removal.

In its first year, the Backyard Habitat Grant program received 11 applications for a total request of $31,000. Look for the next round of grant applications in late 2011. If you would like assistance in evaluating your stream or shoreline area to find out if you are eligible for a grant, please contact Carin Anderson with the Kitsap Conservation District at (360) 337-7171 Ext. 22 or carin-anderson@conservewa.net.
