PCEI Watershed Program Staff consults with private landowners and land managers on a broad range of environmental issues with an emphasis on promoting functional native landscapes.

  • Site assessment and planning with a focus on the riparian area and natural storm water management techniques.
  • Consulting on environmental permitting requirements for federal, state and local City and County permits.
  • Erosion control and slope stabilization.
  • Native riparian and wetland planting.
  • Sales and propagation of native trees, shrubs and forbs.
  • Monitoring projects for permit compliance and long-term project efficacy.



  • Our fee schedule is as follows:
    $80/hour site visit and consultation
    $30/hour project design, oversight and management
    $17/hour for project implementation
    TBD supplies and materials plus 10% markup to cover transportation costs
    TBD subcontract fees (engineering, excavation, etc.) based on individual subcontract estimates
    Travel per mile based on federal rate.

    Because we are a nonprofit, we are unable to do bids based on funding and time limitations.
