What is a Conservation District?
Conservation districts, also known as "CDs," serve as vital community-based hubs dedicated to voluntary efforts that protect and enhance our environment. Led by local experts who understand the unique needs of their landscapes and communities, CDs provide tailored, non-regulatory services to improve air, water, soil, habitats, and farmland health. They offer personalized property plans, access to grant funding, and cost-effective services that empower individuals and communities to achieve their conservation goals. With technical expertise in project planning, permitting, and construction, CDs ensure sustainable practices that align with environmental stewardship principles. Established under Chapter 89.08 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) in 1939, conservation districts play a pivotal role in fostering community engagement and conserving natural resources for future generations.
