Okanogan Conservation District

The Okanogan Conservation District is a political subdivision of the Washington State government located in Okanogan, Washington. First incorporated in 1940, the organization is governed by five locally elected and appointed supervisors and employs five people. The Okanogan Conservation District provides voluntary, non-regulatory natural resource conservation assistance to private landowners, agencies, and private organizations in Okanogan County. They specialize in creating site-specific conservation plans tailored to individual landowner goals and abilities. Additionally, they offer watershed-level planning services and guidance to other agencies and community groups, focusing on area-wide conservation needs. When funding is available, the organization provides financial assistance for conservation improvements aimed at maintaining or conserving high-priority natural resources. Beyond planning and funding, the Okanogan Conservation District is dedicated to conservation education. They develop educational programs and activities for local schools, community groups, and the general public, aiming to empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed decisions about natural resource management.
