Grant Awarded by the National Association of Conservation Districts
The NACD Urban Agriculture Conservation Grant Initiative provides the Ferry Conservation District with funds to plan and implement a community garden within the town of Republic. Establishing the garden's location was done after partnering with the Republic Church of the Nazarene and forming a planning committee. The next steps are to purchase materials and equipment needed to implement the garden. After a year of planning and applying for the next round of funding, the Ferry Conservation District officially received the NACD UAC Grant Award. Construction began in Spring of 2025.
01
After several months of planning, the Ferry CD applied for the NACD UAC Implementation Grant.
This grant provides funding for the actual implementation of the Community Garden and is active until November 2025.
02
Funds became available in September 2024, initiating the construction phase.
With the allotted funds, the garden site has taken on a beautiful makeover. The site has been leveled, water access has been added, and most importantly- raised beds and a deer fence will be installed by June 2025!
03
The Republic Community Garden will be available for use by the following 2025 growing season.
If installation goes as planned, garden plots will be available for rent by summer of 2025. If you have suggestions on how to make the garden last longer, run smoother, or grow better -please contact Mckenzi at the Conservation District office.
