The Grant County Conservation District serves as a regional partner working to help conserve wildlife and their habitat.

 

We assist by:
 

• Developing wildlife plans;

• Providing technical assistance and cost-share for wildlife projects;

• Partnering and consulting with agencies on projects and resource concerns; and

• Teaching conservation education lessons and activities.

 

 

Our current wildlife projects and initiatives include:
 

• Partnering with WDFW to construct artificial burrows for burrowing owls at historic locations;

• Partnering with Pheasants Forever, Noxious Weed Control Board of Grant County and WA Department of Fish and Wildlife for circle corners for habitat;

• Coordination of the annual Othello Sandhill Crane Festival;

• Teaching Water on Wheels in our schools and community; and 

• Developing Trout in the Classroom and Monarch in the Classroom programs.
