Many farmers want to conserve water, but it can be difficult, risky, and expensive. That's where conservation districts come in. They assist people, like Nestor Garcia from Blue Gem Farms, with making changes that work on-farm and benefit water quality and quantity.
A short video from Pacific Conservation Districts shares how no-till farming is helping a local grower improve soil health, reduce costs, and protect water quality.
This $2.4M river restoration project on the Satsop River includes reshaping the riverbank and adding log jams to improve water flow and create a better habitat for wildlife. With 400+ acres of riparian restoration planned, the project is already helping to reduce flooding and improve the river's health.
