The SVSWCD administers both the Virginia Conservation Assistance Program (VCAP) and the Harrisonburg Conservation Assistance Program (HCAP.) These urban conservation programs provide financial incentives as well as technical and educational assistance to property owners installing Stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs) in our service area (Rockingham County, Page County and the City of Harrisonburg.) These programs can help fund: Rain Gardens, Green Roofs, Impervious Surface Removal, Permeable Pavement Installation, Rain Water Harvesting, Bioretentions and more!
