With support from the Riparian Plant Propagation Program (RPPP), Grays Harbor Conservation District maintains a substantial inventory of native plants at a holding site operated in partnership with the Port of Grays Harbor. The site includes gravel beds and other nursery infrastructure that help support healthy plant development.
The district maintains tens of thousands of plants annually to meet partner and community restoration needs. Many plants are provided through local restoration projects, while others are made available through community distribution efforts. RPPP funding helps ensure the district can respond to emerging needs and continue supporting riparian recovery across the region.
With support from the Riparian Plant Propagation Program, large-scale native plant production is underway through a partnership with Puget Sound Plants, enabling the cultivation and statewide distribution of more than 30,000 riparian plants. This high-volume nursery system strengthens Washington’s restoration supply chain and ensures consistent access to locally grown native material.
Snohomish Conservation District is expanding its riparian plant capacity while preparing for a new office and greenhouse facility. Through partnerships with Snohomish County, Edmonds College, and the Latino Educational Training Institute, the district maintains thousands of native plants and supports hands-on workforce development for local restoration efforts.
Jefferson County Conservation District expanded its native plant holding capacity at Finnriver through new gravel beds and a shade structure, strengthening regional riparian restoration efforts through a shared, multi-partner site.
