Combating stormwater runoff in west St. Louis County just got easier. Residents, schools, churches, businesses, and parks in fourteen participating municipalities can now apply for RainScape Rebates of up to $2,000 to improve their yards with rain gardens, trees and shrubs, soil amendments, or rain barrels, etc.
The purpose of this program is to help minimize stormwater runoff, reduce flooding problems, and improve water quality within the Deer Creek Watershed. Take full advantage of this opportunity to upgrade your landscape, increase habitat for birds and pollinators, and improve property value! Application deadline is March 1.
