PART II. PROJECT SUMMARY
This project will address water quality for the state of Washington. The RECIPIENT will
implement two distinctly different Natural Yard Care (NYC) program delivery strategies. The
RECIPIENT will design and initiate statistically valid evaluation tools to reveal which program
style and individual program elements yield the best rate of new behavior adoption and largest
return on investment. The strategies to be tested are: 1) Classroom Lectures being presented in
North Sound (greater Snohomish County) communities; and 2) Backyard Demonstrations being
conducted in South Sound (Lacey, Tumwater, and Unincorporated Thurston County)
neighborhoods, and advertised in Unincorporated Snohomish County neighborhoods. The
project will target single family homeowners residing in urban and suburban areas.
