Become a Stream Steward
Become a hero of your community by organizing a community cleanup in a spot that needs it, picking up trash individually, or painting or marking storm drains - we'll provide the supplies!
Minimize Waste
There are plenty of ways to reduce waste in your everyday life from bringing your own bag to the store and using a reusable water bottle to backyard composting and recycling right.
Wash Your Car Responsibly
Most of us don't think of cars as a source of water pollution, but they can be. You can prevent water pollution by maintaining and repairing your car responsibly.
Pet Waste Management
Every pet owner plays a part in preventing water pollution in our rivers and streams. Responsible pet owners pick up after their pets, both at home and on public land.
Be Salt-Wise
By using the right amount of salt, or using salt alternatives, we can ensure safety, and reduce damage to our environment.
Organic Lawn Care
We each have our own lawn care style. Some are protective (mow, mow, mow!), while others take a more laid back approach. No matter your style, there are ways to reduce the environmental impact of your lawn care practices.
RainScapes
A RainScape is a landscape or design technique that helps reduce stormwater runoff from individual properties. The RainScapes Rewards Rebate program provides a cost-share approach that prevents stormwater and pollution from flowing into our waterways.
Tree Montgomery
Tree Montgomery is a FREE program that plants shade trees across the County. Our goal is simple – to plant shade trees and increase our tree canopy to provide a wide array of benefits for you and your community.
Watershed Grants
The Clean Water Montgomery grant program promotes initiatives and projects that reduce pollutants and improve water quality in Montgomery County’s local streams and waterways through public engagement, education, and community-based, on-the-ground restoration.
