Ready to restore your stream or shoreline? You can receive a grant for stream and shoreline restoration projects on private or public properties in unincorporated Kitsap County. Grants typically range from $2,500 to $5,000, and more funds may be available for larger projects. Individual landowners, local organizations, conservation groups and others are encouraged to apply.

Project Types

These projects will help restore streams to natural conditions, improve fish and wildlife habitat, stabilize banks, and maintain your views and access to your shoreline:

• Planting stream side or shoreline areas with native plants
• Removing debris
• Removing undersized culverts, old dams or concrete structures to improve fish passage
• Removing noxious weeds and replacing with native plants
• Adding woody debris and stream gravel to enhance streams

Projects should emphasize physical implementation, and more project ideas are welcome.
