Rock Lack Conservation District's staff recently collaborated with a local landowner to tackle severe erosion along the Palouse River.
Together, they installed rock toe protection (a row of stones to support the streambank) along a half-mile stretch of the river bank. After a recent flooding event, the solution worked perfectly— protecting the bank and improving water flow.
Amazing work, Rock Lake Conservation District!
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.
