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.

A short video from Pacific Conservation Districts shares how no-till farming is helping a local grower improve soil health, reduce costs, and protect water quality.
This $2.4M river restoration project on the Satsop River includes reshaping the riverbank and adding log jams to improve water flow and create a better habitat for wildlife. With 400+ acres of riparian restoration planned, the project is already helping to reduce flooding and improve the river's health.
