The Okanogan Conservation District (first incorporated in 1940) provides voluntary, non-regulatory natural resource conservation assistance to private landowners, agencies, and private organizations in Okanogan County.  We are a political sub-division of Washington State government governed by five locally elected and appointed supervisors.  

We primarily provide site specific conservation plans to landowners and land managers to help them conserve natural resources within their goals and resources.  We also provide watershed level planning services and guidance to other agencies and community groups on area wide conservation needs to ensure the best use and long term conservation of natural resources.  Where funding allows we often provide partial funding to pay for conservation improvements to maintain or conserve high priority natural resources.

We also provide conservation education services to local schools, community groups, and the general public.  Our staff develop educational programs and activities that do not dictate specific activities or decisions but to inform recipients of the information how to be better informed to make their own decisions.
