Conservation Projects

We can also help connect you with other organizations and partners if you need assistance with larger-scale projects. Learn more about our current projects, programs, and services below!
More Information
The Okanogan Conservation District is embarking on a journey with Okanogan County and many other partners to update the 2013 CWPP. We will work throughout 2024 to gather input from communities and partners to prioritize wildfire mitigation actions that will be the focus of responders and agencies for the next 5-10 years.
A local water bank aims to protect water rights, prevent water from leaving the County, and to have a place where water resources are locally administered and available for agriculture, habitat, and residential needs. We will host public meetings throughout 2024 as the development of the bank continues.

We help agricultural producers with new and/or existing conservation projects that meet VSP objectives to 1) protect critical areas on agricultural lands and 2) maintain agriculture viability of local farmers, ranchers, and producers.
