​
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.
Details about eligible mini-grant projects can be found below.
