Ferry Conservation District explains its role

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

The Ferry Conservation District (FCD) recently updated its public information to clarify its role as a non-regulatory, voluntary organization that helps landowners with natural resource projects. The district works on water, soil, air, and farmland conservation through technical and financial assistance.

FCD's mission is to safeguard Ferry County's rural lifestyle and sustainable use of natural resources. It provides services including habitat restoration, water quality improvement, soil health management, and wildfire recovery. The district is governed by a five-member board of local landowners and holds monthly meetings on the fourth Wednesday at 3 p.m. (Oct-Mar) or 5 p.m. (Apr-Sep) at 84 East Delaware in Republic.

The district emphasizes it is not a government agency and does not receive ongoing state funding. It relies on grant funding and partnerships to offer free or low-cost assistance to residents. Landowners can contact FCD for help with projects like riparian restoration, as demonstrated by completed work on local waterways.
