Returning to Work
As Island County phases in to working life, WICD is following all guidance and protocols from Governor Inslee, Island County, and the Washington State Conservation Commission. Our office will remain closed to public walk-ins and our staff will continue to work remotely when possible.
A staff person is in the office during business hours to answer phone calls, and our natural resource planners are scheduling site visits and working in the field again, following social distancing protocols as prescribed. If you’d like to schedule a site visit on your farm or property, or call us with a question, please do! We are here to help and looking forward to safely visiting with community members again.
If you're not quite ready for an in-person visit, our website includes all our printed resource materials, and our planners are available over email to chat about management practices for your forest, yard, water, farm, and ranch. You can also find us on Facebook and Instagram, where we will continue to share community information, district updates, and outdoor inspiration. Stay in touch and stay safe, Whidbey!
