In Washington state all counties are required to identify and protect critical areas on agricultural lands. The Voluntary Stewardship Program (VSP) offers a voluntary, incentive based approach for counties to meet that requirement by encouraging locally-led conservation programs and periodic reporting of stewardship practice implementation. 

Benefits of VSP

Okanogan CD can provide assistance in
developing stewardship plans for individual properties

VSP is reported at a watershed scale so there
are no identifying landowner characteristics.
(Counties not in VSP, report at the parcel scale).

Fill out a VSP checklist and contact us to learn more about the program and to get involved!
