Conservation Success Stories

The Conservation Commission and conservation districts integrate  science, technology, and effective strategies for engaging people into our  voluntary solutions. This helps us build community around conservation and  deliver multi-benefit results. You’ll find examples of these solutions—and  the results we’ve been able to celebrate with participating landowners and  partners—in these community success stories.

Inspiring the Next Generation

Lincoln County Conservation District

Getting kids outdoors to explore and learn is essential for both their well-being and the future of conservation. Lincoln County Conservation District recognizes this importance, as demonstrated by their Earth Day event with Reardan Middle School students.

In collaboration with Spokane Audubon volunteers, students visited Audubon Lake, where they engaged in hands-on learning about local wildlife, birds, plants, and the watershed. This initiative encourages young people to appreciate and protect the environment for generations to come.

Kudos to Lincoln County CD for their commitment to fostering environmental stewardship in the next generation!
