The Upper Willamette Soil & Water Conservation District is a proud Working Lands partner. The Working Lands Program supports farmers in their role as land stewards by helping them to adopt stewardship practices that keep their working lands working: working as farms, working as businesses, and working as natural ecosystems.
Working Lands is a free, voluntary program that helps farmers and ranchers transition to more regenerative agricultural management. We collaborate with participating farm managers to create a personalize conservation plan suited to your land, your farm, and your business needs.
Why work with your local soil & water conservation district?
While we uphold a locally-led, watershed-based, and voluntary approach to natural resource management to ensure the health and sustainable use of our water and other natural resources, we also respect private property owners’ rights and honor their wise and responsible stewardship of natural resources.
