Neighborhood Native Landscaping Program
What is the BBWARM NNLP?
Birch Bay Watershed and Aquatic Resources Management District (BBWARM) in partnership with Whatcom Conservation District are offering a FREE Neighborhood Native Landscaping Program (NNLP) to Birch Bay homeowners. We are now looking to recruit homeowners in the Birch Bay area with the goal to offer design, project coordination, and installation of native landscaping projects to improve water quality and habitat while helping reduce runoff. On-site services to be provided by WCD staff and the Washington Conservation Corps Crew (WCC Crew).
This program is aiming to build habitat in neighborhood groups of 3-6 homeowners within a few blocks of one another. If you're interested in learning more about the program please fill out the online interest form.
