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.
Grays Harbor Conservation District maintains tens of thousands of native plants annually at a partner-operated holding site, using gravel beds and nursery infrastructure to support healthy plant growth and regional riparian restoration. Through project support and community distribution, the district helps meet evolving restoration needs across the region.
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.
