Upcoming Chapter Events in Virginia
About the VCAP Program: the Soil & Water Conservation District talks about Funding for Your Projects
Hosted by Wild Ones Roanoke Region ChapterPublic Welcome Chapter Meeting Program/Speaker Presentation Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains
February's chapter meeting will feature Sam Chappell from the Blue Ridge Soil and Water Conservation District about the work they do as part of the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation. We will also be hearing about the VCAP Program, which is a program for homeowners who are interested in conserving water in your landscape (e.g. rain gardens or rain water harvesting), promoting wildlife habitat (i.e. added vegetation to aid in infiltration can also create spaces for wildlife), reduce surface water pollution, among other benefits. Plus, through the VCAP Program your project may be eligible for financial aid!
From the SWCD website: "The Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP) is an urban cost-share program that provides financial incentives and technical and educational assistance to property owners installing eligible Best Management Practices (BMPs) in Virginia’s participating Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs).
These practices can be installed in areas of your yard where problems like erosion, poor drainage, or poor vegetation occur. Qualified sites shall be used for residential, commercial, or recreational purposes with a proposed practice that addresses a need."
More information about the VCAP Program and the Blue Ridge SWCD in the link below.
We hope to see you there!
