Welcome
Our mission is to conserve and protect soil and water resources for people, wildlife, and the environment.
We help residents of Multnomah County (west of the Willamette River) and Sauvie Island with conservation planning, invasive weeds, native plants, livestock management, grant funding, wildlife, healthy woods, habitat restoration, school gardens and many other projects. We look forward to hearing from you!

As of now, we are tentatively planning to reopen at 9 a.m. on May 1. Our District staff is working remotely during this time and can be reached by email or by leaving a voicemail message.
