Habitat Designation? #928589

Asked April 16, 2026, 12:39 PM EDT

Hello, You all are so wonderful to offer this service. Is there a way to have my yard in MoCo designated a wildlife or plant habitat for polinator gardens so that I would have permission to water it to keep young trees alive during time of drought? Many thanks, Sarah

Hi, 

To our knowledge we don't believe an exemption program like that exists. You could check in with our Residential Landscape Ecologist, Stacy Small Lorenz who also runs our Bay Wise certification program. She may know of some programs or could direct you further with that great certification!
