King Conservation District has annouced the dates and locations of district wide public comment sessions to seek input in advance of a 2010 special assessment.
The King Conservation District (King CD) will hold a series of six public comment sessions in May and June to provide input on conservation priorities and
programs that would be funded by the reauthorization of the district special assessment.
The King CD (www.kingcd.org) provides conservation information and technical assistance programs to all landowners within the district's boundaries (most of King County) on a voluntary, non-regulatory basis. It provides grants for conservation projects and programs, and initiates community outreach activities including workshops, education programs, site visits, farm plans, and consultation on land, water and wildlife management.
The King CD is funded by a $10 per parcel/per year assessment within the district's boundaries and expires on December 31st, 2009. It provides approximately 6 million annually to the District. This funding has been allocated to support good stewardship practices by private landowners through King CD education workshops and site-specific consulting, and for natural resource conservation projects in partnership with King County and its cities. For the past decade, King CD has supported salmon recovery work within the District.
"We are inviting landowners, residents, member
jurisdictions, and organizations that operate within
the boundary of the district to share their ideas about
their natural resource conservation needs and work
accomplishments of the District" - King CD Executive
Director Jeffrey Possinger.
