The Ferry Conservation District (FCD) released its FY 2025 Annual Work Plan on August 5, 2026. The plan details the district's efforts to protect water, soil, air, and farmland through voluntary projects on private properties.
FCD works with landowners to improve riparian areas, water quality, soil health, and wildfire recovery. Monthly meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday at 3 p.m. (October-March) or 5 p.m. (April-September) at 84 East Delaware in Republic. The district serves all Ferry County residents and aims to maintain the rural lifestyle through technical and financial assistance.
The FCD is a local government subdivision that operates independently. It was established under the Soil Conservation Districts Act of the 1930s and is governed by a five-member board of local landowners. The district does not receive ongoing state funding but uses grant money to support community projects.
