To address critical farm bill program workload with technical assistance from wscc and local conservation district staff

The National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) awarded the Conservation Commission Washington State a $150,000 Project Grant under the Soil and Water Conservation program (CFDA 10.902) effective September 15, 2025, through July 31, 2030. This award provides technical assistance support to address critical Farm Bill program workload through coordinated efforts between the Washington State Conservation Commission and local conservation district staff. The funding enables the state agency to deliver conservation planning, implementation support, and technical expertise to private landowners and organizations across Washington State.

The technical assistance delivered through this award supports conservation practices aligned with the Soil and Water Conservation program's core objectives, including erosion control, water management, and sustainable agricultural practices. By leveraging WSCC staff expertise and local conservation district networks, the award strengthens the capacity of conservation partners to implement Farm Bill initiatives and deliver locally-driven conservation solutions throughout the state over the five-year performance period.
