Stevens County Conservation District in the northeastern corner of our state is giving youth hands-on experience in agriculture and forestry.
At the 158-acre Vetter Demonstration Farm, Stevens County CD held a guided Tractor and Chainsaw Training Day, where local 4-H leaders taught young adults from the community valuable skills with operating equipment.
This farm, leased by the Stevens County CD and in partnership with WSU and WSU Extension, hosts events and workshops to explore sustainable practices and promote small-scale agriculture. Together, they're supporting local farmers and creating new approaches tailored to the region's unique climate and soils!
Amazing work, Stevens County 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.
