What We Do Palouse Watershed Education Calendar of Events Get Involved About Us Store FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. WHAT IS A "CONSERVATION DISTRICT"? A. Conservation Districts are non-regulatory units of local government dedicated to land, water, and soil conservation. We do not enforce compliance or impose penalties, but instead work collaboratively with landowners to help them responsibly and efficiently manage their land. Q. HOW DOES THE CONSERVATION DISTRICT DECIDE WHERE PRIORITY AREAS ARE FOR PROJECTS? A. Based off of community feedback, the staff and Board of Supervisors develop a 5-year Long Range Plan, identifying the values that guide our work, selecting priority natural resource concerns and conservation needs, and defining measures of success.
