Annual Events
Our annual events engage the community and work towards our mission to improve water quality, keep soil healthy and conserve water.
Annual Plant Sale
Our Native Plant Sale provides thousands of inexpensive bare-root native trees, shrubs and groundcovers that are great for naturescaping, rain garden and restoration projects. Online pre-orders typically begin the first weekend in January, and plant pick-up is usually the 3rd or 4th weekend in February.

Annual Yard Tour
The annual Naturescaping for Backyard Habitats Tour showcases a variety of low-maintenance naturescaped gardens that attract wildlife, conserve water, and have no need for synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. This self-guided tour typically takes place in early June.
Board Meetings
Board Meetings are held monthly at the EMSWCD office. Meetings are open to the public, with the exception of Executive Sessions.
Records of the meetings are also available online in our Document Library.
