Overview
Description:
The Palouse Conservation District implements, manages, and participates in a wide array of restoration projects throughout Whitman County. We work with a variety of funders and are available to help assist landowners with educational, technical, and financial aspects to help improve, enhance, and restore habitat of all shapes and sizes. We can help with design, planning, and implementation of a project and can help find funding if none is currently available. PCD promotes the use of native plants as they have adapted to our climate, require less maintenance, and provide food and shelter for local wildlife.
See the website for a variety of other measures you can take to enhance wildlife conservation like the Citizen Science Pollinator effort or storm water management techniques.
