North Fork Palouse River Information Meeting

On February 3, 2011, Palouse Conservation District hosted a public meeting for local farmers, ranchers, and residents.  The topics for discussion included value-added marketing, local food markets, best management practices, and cost-share opportunities.  We were fortunate to have a panel of experts from around the region share their experiences.  A summary of the meeting and copies of each presentation are available below.

Cost Share Opportunities With Palouse Conservation District

Palouse Conservation District has cost share funds available for riparian fencing, buffer strips, off-stream water facilities and other BMPs.  In many cases, we cover 90% of the planning and installation costs, and your share can be paid in your own labor.  We strive to design and implement projects that add value to your land, livestock, and agricultural products.
