Long-Range Plan Update
As stated in statute (see RCW 89.08.220), conservation districts in Washington are required “to prepare and keep current a comprehensive long-range program recommending the conservation of all renewable natural resources of the district.” Your input and feedback are critical to truly meet the needs of our community. Click here to access the draft update to our plan for 2022-2027.
The first couple of pages include our mission, vision, and values, and lay out the basics of how conservation districts fulfill our non-regulatory role in environmental protection and improvement. The bulk of the plan includes our specific natural resource conservation goals, desired outcomes, and priority actions. Please let us know if you think something is missing in terms of goals and outcomes. Is there a resource area we’re neglecting?
Please provide your comments by emailing us at info@jeffersoncd.org. We will be accepting comments through January 21, 2022. We appreciate your input, as we’re all in this together.
Celebrating 75 years of conservation in our community!
We invite you to read our 2021-22 Winter Newsletter to take a look back on our history, and a peak ahead at our upcoming native plant sale, virtual native landscaping workshop, and 2022 district supervisor election. Note: The link will take you to a PDF where you can access the links throughout the newsletter.
Thank you for working with us to conserve our natural resources for the benefit of all current and future residents of this special place we call home. We wish you and your family all the best for a happy and healthy holiday season!

Discovery Bay Watershed, Water Quality and Fishes
Discovery Bay Comprehensive Report 2020
Glenn Gately, Fish Biologist and Water Quality Specialist, has authored a detailed and comprehensive review of water quality and fish data collected in the Discovery Bay Watershed from 1988 to 2019. This report also includes the best managements practices that were implemented during this time period. If you have any questions regarding the report, please e-mail Glenn at gately@jeffersoncd.org.
We help all Jefferson County citizens achieve sustainable land use objectives while protecting and enhancing the area’s natural resources. Rather than enforcing compliance or imposing penalties, we offer information and technical assistance at the request and in collaboration with local landowners. Our staff spends time in the field bringing problem-solving skills to landowners and in classrooms or at public events educating and fostering natural resource stewardship in the community.
