The Ferry Conservation District (FCD) has clarified its role as a local resource for Ferry County residents. It provides voluntary, non-regulatory assistance with natural resource projects on private properties.
FCD offers free help with water quality, soil health, habitat restoration, and wildfire recovery. It does not regulate land use but partners with landowners to improve environmental conditions. The district is governed by a five-member board of local landowners.
Monthly meetings are held on the fourth Wednesday at 3 p.m. (Oct-Mar) or 5 p.m. (Apr-Sep) at 84 East Delaware in Republic. Residents can attend to learn more or ask questions.
