Shore Friendly Mason Mini-Grants Program

Now through June 30, 2018, Mason Conservation District is pleased to offer Shore Friendly Mason "Mini-Grants" to local marine waterfront property owners. This program helps Mason County homeowners complete projects that benefit Puget Sound shorelines while also addressing their goals.

To apply for the grant program, you must own the property where work will take place. Eligible projects must take place on the marine waterfront and include:

invasive weed removal and planting new native shoreline plants
conversion of lawn into native plantings
addition of native trees and shrubs for stabilizing shoreline slopes and banks
improving upland water management to address drainage-caused erosion or slope stability problems
removing shoreline armor such as rock, creosote pilings, and concrete bulkheads
in cases where a home is at risk and conditions are suitable, installation of “soft shoreline stabilization” alternatives to shoreline armor.

All projects must be completed by June 30, 2018, with the exception of armor removal and soft shoreline stabilization, which have a longer timeline.
