Local land managers contacted Wahkiakum CD to request assistance reducing bank erosion on a fish-bearing stream on their property to improve instream fish habitat.
Wahkiakum CD rose to the occasion, helping the land managers design, permit, and fund the installation of wood-based structures along the stream banks to prevent further erosion and restore riparian habitat.
The project was funded through SCC's Salmon Recovery Funding.
Thank you, Wahkiakum Conservation District, for your hard work and dedication to helping land managers in your community address local natural resource concerns.
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.
