The Washington State Conservation Commission(SCC) has submitted state budget requests to support conservation districts and voluntary conservation work over the next biennium. 

Here are two fact sheets with overviews of what we requested from the Capital and Operating budgets. We hope this helps give a clear picture of what was requested and some general talking points about what each individual request will do and what's at risk if they're not funded.
