Native Plant Expo & Marketplace: 

Saturday, June 4th, 2022 
9 a.m. - 1 p.m.


The Native Plant Expo & Marketplace (NPEM) offers residents one convenient location to shop for Michigan native plants from several Michigan native plant growers, learn how to establish and maintain native landscapes and connect with companies specializing in planning native landscapes. 
Native Plant Expo & Marketplace - June 4th

Apply for the School & Community Habitat Grant! 
The WCCD School and Community Habitat Grant is designed to assist schools and community organizations with accessing plants and establishing wildlife habitat. Restoring wildlife habitat creates natural ecosystems providing benefits to residents (human or otherwise) including purpose and connection to local ecology, greater biodiversity, air and water filtration, carbon sequestration, aesthetic beauty, and many more ecological services.

Grants will be awarded in the form of tree, shrub, native plant material through the WCCD distributions and technical assistance from WCCD and partners. Grant fund availability is dependent on donations made to the WCCD for this purpose and grant selections and awards will be made based on the amount donated.
