Want a Rain Garden on Your Property? We can Help!

Rain gardens maintained by volunteers at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church in St. Paul.
It’s not too early to start thinking about installing a rain garden on your property next spring!

RWMWD is now accepting applications for the 2016 BMP Incentive Program. This program offers technical assistance and cost share funds to support projects that improve water quality. Funds are available to homeowners, churches, homeowner associations, and commercial properties interested in installing clean water projects on their property. Projects are funded 50-100% depending on the type of project and location in the Watershed. 


Additionally, Washing Conservation District currently has funding to do clean water landscaping projects with condos, town homes, and single family homeowner associations. These funds are available to associations in Washington County who complete projects that will help reduce runoff water pollution, converting turf areas to native plantings, and retrofitting existing stormwater ponds into reuse systems for irrigation.

Please call the numbers below to schedule a site visit to see what opportunities are available on your property. We look forward to hearing from you!
