West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District can help you with questions about horses, livestock, organic and conventional farming, and many other issues involved with living on a farm in Western Oregon.
The Conservation District is here to help with both types of operations. We are available to offer free technical advice as we walk your property and talk with you about improvements you’d like to make.
We work with farms to:
- Reduce fertilizer use without decreasing production
- Install pollinator hedgerows
- Improve soil quality
- Increase sustainable practices
- Decrease pests
- Improve irrigation
