The Valley Branch Watershed District (VBWD) covers approximately 64 square miles. Approximately one square mile of the District is in Ramsey County; the remainder of the District lies in Washington County.

Planting for Clean Water

VBWD has cost-share grants available for implementing practices to improve the quality of our lakes, streams and wetlands. If you live in Washington County, contact Rusty Schmidt to schedule a free site visit. If you live in Ramsey County, contact Ryan Johnson for a free site visit.
