Facing challenges with soil erosion and degraded plant conditions, a local livestock owner in Pomeroy Conservation District was struggling to feed, water, and care for their cattle during the winter months.
Pomeroy CD stepped in to help develop infrastructure at a prime location, utilizing an existing water source while staying clear of Lower Deadman Creek. This project will create a localized feedlot, allowing for better cattle management, reduced soil erosion, and improved plant health.
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.
