Snohomish Conservation District’s mission is to work cooperatively with others to promote and encourage conservation and responsible use of natural resources. We represent Snohomish County and Camano Island.
This position will help develop culturally appropriate outreach to increase awareness and participation in free natural resource programs for Snohomish Latino Farmers. They will help identify linguistic and cultural barriers, ensuring that natural resource conservation programs are accessible to farmers and historically underserved populations. The Cultural Ambassador will work with Snohomish Conservation District staff for 10 - 12 months.
The Snohomish Conservation District (SCD) is excited to launch the Equity in Conservation program. This program is funded through a cooperative agreement with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The Equity in Conservation program will help support our efforts to engage with Latino and Spanish-speaking farmers and agricultural workers in Snohomish County and Camano Island.
It’s almost winter, which means we’re knee-deep in the middle of the rainy season. In an average year, Snohomish County gets 35 inches of rain, and most of it falls during these next few months.
All of that rain has to go somewhere and much of it becomes stormwater, traveling across the landscape and eventually into Puget Sound.
October was Urban and Community Forest Month! To celebrate, Snohomish Conservation District and the City of Marysville hosted a tree-planting ceremony at Comeford Park on Tuesday, Oct. 29.
