Climate Change Program
Snohomish Conservation District is actively working on assisting residents and landowners of Snohomish County with taking steps towards building resilience to climate change on their farms and properties as well as promoting Green House Gas (GHG) sequestration practices that can be utilized on farms and in gardens. Through various existing programs and future program development, we are working to help residents address adaptations to a changing climate as well as working towards mitigating climate change. See a list of current resources and services below. Check back frequently to new services, programs, and resources that will be offered.
