"I think that all landowners along the creek should use the StreamCare program. It’s free and beneficial to the fish population and the wildlife.”-on StreamCare program

"The beauty that can be created in such a small area that not only attracts animals and insects but is much more water wise and more fun to work with than a lawn."-on Yard Tour

"It is a cool project that taught us how to identify native plants in a small area next to our school so that when we go on hikes we can already identify a lot of them on our own. Being able to learn about native plants is a skill I'm glad I've learned because I can share it with my friends." - Jory, 12th grade

"Native species can create beautiful and wildlife supporting gardens in small yards."-on Yard Tour

"I loved the way most of the yards had a cool and airy feeling even on that hot day. It felt like you could pull up a chair and sit down anywhere and not be baking in the sun." -on Yard Tour

"I'm learning that what I see as a obstacle or problem area in my yard, others have created something unique with the same area."-on Yard Tour

"It is now not only useful but enjoyable to look at due to all of the clearing and planting. The team has been knowledgeable, effective, and courteous. Let me take this opportunity to wholeheartedly tell you that this is an amazing program.” -on StreamCare program

"I just came to this class to accompany my wife. She's the gardener in the family. I had no idea that gardening could play such an important role in watershed restoration!" -husband attending a
rain garden class with his wife

The StreamCare program has been amazing at enhancing the wildlife on my property, providing well planned out tree and plant locations, protecting my property from erosion, and restoring the stream bed. All of this increases my property value. -Andrew Collmer
