How it works
Get expert technical support from the Xerces Society consultants about habitat development and materials like plants and irrigation line at no cost. The grower is asked to provide the labor for installation and maintenance of the habitat for at least 4 years. Cost share is typically 40% or less, which is very competitive compared to most state and federal programs.
To begin the process and learn more, please fill out this survey and/or contact: Michael Trier, Xerces Society, at michael.trier@xerces.org , 509-852-5522.
