About Us

The Naturally Beautiful Backyards (NBB) Program at Columbia Springs is presented in partnership with Clark County Solid Waste Program. The NBB program promotes the creation of healthy and productive ecosystems in residential yards and gardens throughout Clark County, Washington by providing education on earth-friendly gardening techniques. Using earth-friendly gardening techniques can greatly reduce the use of synthetic chemicals, increase beneficial organism activity, enhance habitat and wildlife areas, and contribute to the overall health of the community.

Clark County Solid Waste Program strives to educate county citizens through workshops, lectures, demonstration sites, displays, and written materials about the benefits of reducing chemical use in the yard and garden to decrease the amount of hazardous materials entering the wastestream.

Columbia Springs' mission is to engage the community in environmental education within a historically significant urban setting.
