Free or low-cost plants and services
State code prevents jurisdictions from providing goods and services directly to private landowners, so these usually go through intermediaries (e.g. EcoAction Arlington, Fairfax ReLeaf)
Jurisdictions can provide services directly to common interest properties.
Soil and Water Districts and Virginia Department of Forestry do not have this restriction.
