Farmers Leading Our United Revolution in Soil Health (FLOURISH) is a multi-state collaboration funded by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service’s Conservation Innovation Grants program. Working alongside conservation districts, universities, and regional partners, Palouse CD supports producers in Washington, Idaho, and Oregon who are experimenting with practices such as cover cropping, interseeding, livestock integration, and green fallow systems. FLOURISH emphasizes peer learning, farmers share experiences through field days, videos, and a podcast series that highlight real on-farm results and lessons learned. Together, these efforts are building a connected network of producers committed to improving soil health and long-term agricultural resilience across the Inland Northwest.
Learn more and explore videos, podcasts, and additional resources on the FLOURISH website, and follow along on Facebook for updates.
Wildfire resilience work on Jackson Ranch near Nespelem, Washington was put to the test when the July 2026 Kaiser Canyon Fire swept through.
With support from the Riparian Plant Propagation Program, large-scale native plant production is underway through a partnership with Puget Sound Plants, enabling the cultivation and statewide distribution of more than 30,000 riparian plants. This high-volume nursery system strengthens Washington’s restoration supply chain and ensures consistent access to locally grown native material.
Grays Harbor Conservation District maintains tens of thousands of native plants annually at a partner-operated holding site, using gravel beds and nursery infrastructure to support healthy plant growth and regional riparian restoration. Through project support and community distribution, the district helps meet evolving restoration needs across the region.
