We're all part of a watershed, and water quality is crucial.
The Okanogan Conservation District can help with issues related to water bodies with projects like habitat restoration, erosion control, manure management, and fish protection.
 |
Backyards and Small FarmsTechnical assistance is available specifically for smaller parcels. Adopting common-sense conservation practices like manure management and appropriate irrigation can protect and/or improve water quality on and around your property. |

Bonaparte Creek Restoration ProjectThe District is working with landowners and local citizens to improve water quality in the Bonaparte Creek Watershed. We lead an annual Creek Clean-up event in September. Cost-share is available for creekside landowners to implement projects. Please contact us if you have a project idea in mind. |

Livestock and Water QualityTechnical assistance and cost-share are available for projects that improve water quality related to livestock. Items such as creek-side fencing and spring developments are typically funded by this program. |

Okanogan Conservation Technical Assistance (OCTA)Our staff can help you build a site-specific plan for your property that incorporates Best Management Practices for water quality conservation. Improving your land can often help you improve your bottom line! |

Okanogan River ScreensIf the fish screen on your pump irrigation diversion is out of compliance, we can help. You could receive 100% cost share and free technical assistance to ensure your screen meets requirements for fish protection. Participation is strictly voluntary but strongly encouraged. Properly-sized screens help protect fish, minimize debris build-up and increase pump efficiency. |
