SupportScape Project

Apply Now

The SupportScapes program aims to enhance stormwater management by incentivizing residents to replace traditional turf grass, invasive plants, bare soil, and impervious areas with native plants. These deep-rooted species effectively absorb and slow runoff, reduce erosion, and minimize the need for harmful chemicals. By mimicking natural habitats, SupportScapes promote better water quality, support local biodiversity, and protect our ecosystems.
