We are a publicly funded special district conservation organization. We help residents of Multnomah County west of the Willamette River, all of Sauvie Island including the Columbia County portion of the Island, and a portion of the Bonny Slope region of the Tualatin Mountains in Washington County (see District map). Many of our services include invasive weed management, establishing native plants, livestock management, grant funding, wildlife habitat restoration, school gardens, and conservation planning for healthy forests, farms, streams and soil. We look forward to hearing from you!
Effective May 1, 2022, our office will be reopened to the public by appointment only. Please arrange your visit with an appropriate staff person.
