Getting kids outdoors to explore and learn is essential for both their well-being and the future of conservation. Lincoln County Conservation District recognizes this importance, as demonstrated by their Earth Day event with Reardan Middle School students.
In collaboration with Spokane Audubon volunteers, students visited Audubon Lake, where they engaged in hands-on learning about local wildlife, birds, plants, and the watershed. This initiative encourages young people to appreciate and protect the environment for generations to come.
Kudos to Lincoln County CD for their commitment to fostering environmental stewardship in the next generation!
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.
Snohomish Conservation District is expanding its riparian plant capacity while preparing for a new office and greenhouse facility. Through partnerships with Snohomish County, Edmonds College, and the Latino Educational Training Institute, the district maintains thousands of native plants and supports hands-on workforce development for local restoration efforts.
