RPPP funding supports large-scale production of native plants through a contract with Puget Sound Plants, a nursery system with multiple locations across Washington. The program is enabling the cultivation of more than 30,000 riparian plants for distribution to restoration partners across the state.
Puget Sound Plants maintains a high-volume, efficient operation, with plants propagated and grown at select nursery sites and regular shipments moving stock to restoration projects statewide. This partnership strengthens the statewide supply chain for high-quality native plants and helps ensure restoration efforts have consistent access to locally grown material.
In an arid landscape dominated by dryland grain production and rangeland, this pilot focuses on reducing soil loss, improving water availability, and supporting habitat health. By tracking conservation practices and applying watershed tools, the work helps partners better understand how voluntary conservation supports resilient working lands under changing conditions.
In a working lands landscape shaped by dryland farming, grazing, and irrigated agriculture, this pilot focuses on reducing erosion, keeping soil on the land, and improving stream and habitat conditions. By tracking conservation practices and applying watershed tools, the work helps partners better understand how voluntary conservation supports resilient farms and healthy watersheds.
Within a productive agricultural landscape shaped by dairy and crop production, this pilot focuses on improving water quality, managing nutrients, and reducing flood risks. Monitoring and conservation tracking help partners understand how voluntary conservation supports both farm viability and long-term watershed health.
