Skagit Conservation District's equipment share program offers landowners in the community improved access to agricultural Best Management Practices (BMPs) at an affordable price. Their no-till drill has become a crowd favorite due to its minimal soil disturbance, which helps mitigate soil erosion and compaction while enhancing soil organic matter and structure. In the previous season alone, their no-till drill was utilized on over 200 acres of farmland, showcasing its effectiveness and impact. Great work, Skagit CD!
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.
