Eastern Klickitat Conservation District's team is working hard to conserve vital farm and ranch lands that are being developed at an alarming rate.
Losing farm and ranch lands in the area results in fewer local producers and fewer support systems for farmers and ranchers. Eastern Klickitat CD is working with its community to stem this loss by protecting these vital lands through conservation easements.
Working with a local land manager, EKCD was able to permanently conserve 3,000 acres of grazing rangeland using grant funding from Washington's Recreation and Conservation Office, secured through SCC's Office of Farmland Preservation— a huge accomplishment!
Palouse Conservation District’s FLOURISH program is a farmer-led effort advancing soil health and climate resilience across the Inland Northwest.
Generations of farming along Hangman Creek have faced erosion and water quality challenges. Through a partnership between the Spokane and Pine Creek Conservation Districts and the Washington State Department of Ecology, local landowners are restoring natural stream channels, planting native vegetation, and stabilizing creek banks, all while keeping working lands productive. Together, they’re proving that voluntary conservation benefits both farms and fish.
