With fire season continuing and drought conditions worsening across Washington, wildfire resilience remains a critical focus. Okanogan Conservation District's wildfire resiliency team has been actively working to help the community by conducting home risk assessments. Despite having only a two-person team, they have successfully completed over 100 assessments so far this year.
These assessments play a crucial role in identifying areas of vulnerability and helping residents take steps to protect their homes and property from wildfires. Okanogan CD’s proactive efforts contribute significantly to building long-term wildfire resiliency in the region.

In an arid landscape dominated by dryland grain production and rangeland, this pilot focuses on reducing soil loss, improving water availability, and supporting habitat health. By tracking conservation practices and applying watershed tools, the work helps partners better understand how voluntary conservation supports resilient working lands under changing conditions.
In a working lands landscape shaped by dryland farming, grazing, and irrigated agriculture, this pilot focuses on reducing erosion, keeping soil on the land, and improving stream and habitat conditions. By tracking conservation practices and applying watershed tools, the work helps partners better understand how voluntary conservation supports resilient farms and healthy watersheds.
Within a productive agricultural landscape shaped by dairy and crop production, this pilot focuses on improving water quality, managing nutrients, and reducing flood risks. Monitoring and conservation tracking help partners understand how voluntary conservation supports both farm viability and long-term watershed health.
