Long Range Priorities
Whatcom Conservation District staff and Board of Supervisors work together and with the community to identify and implement land and water stewardship priorities. Our long-range plan is a roadmap for reaching the goals and fulfilling the vision we built with you around those priorities. Each year we implement an annual plan focused on those goals and guided by that vision. Our current priorities include climate resilience and preparedness, fish and wildlife habitat improvement, community stormwater and habitat improvement, working lands productivity and conservation, and community agriculture and local system support. We invite you to take a deeper look into these priorities through our Strategic Plan Review, 2023-2027 Long-Range Plan, and our current Annual Report.
What is a Conservation District?
Conservation Districts were established to carry out conservation programs for current and future generations. The Whatcom Conservation District has supported the residents of Whatcom County since 1946 through voluntary land management programs that protect water quality, conserve soil, and enhance fish and wildlife habitat. While the District has worked with rural agricultural landowners since its inception, we have grown in recent years to include support to urban, suburban, and rural residential landowners and land managers on conserving those same resources.
