The Washington State Conservation Commission (SCC) has opened a limited Request for Applications (RFA) for conservation districts that have previously received funding for Riparian Plant Propagation Program (RPPP) holding sites.
This interim funding round is intended to support continued care of holding sites and help prepare for upcoming restoration needs ahead of the full application launch later this summer.
Eligible Uses: Maintenance of existing holding sites
Available Funding: Up to $15,000 per district
Funding Guidelines: Please review the newly adopted guidelines.
Deadline to Apply: Friday, June 27, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Priority Reminder: A full application will be released in mid-July 2025 to support the expansion and creation of new holding sites. Conservation districts who do not need funding by July 1 are encouraged to apply in the next RFA.
Reporting Requirements
To ensure transparency and effectiveness, all funded districts must report on the distribution of plants to riparian restoration projects. There are two ways to report:
- Annual Reporting Form
- Optional Plant Tracking Form (open year-round for real-time updates)
Deadline for Deliverables
All work must be completed and deliverables submitted by June 30, 2026.
