​About Whidbey Island Conservation District

We are a community hub that brings people and resources together through voluntary, locally-led conservation. As a non-regulatory and non-partisan arm of Washington state, we support your stewardship goals by offering free educational and financial resources, and provide guidance as-needed, on your terms. Everyone’s situation is unique, which means taking an equity-centered and collaborative approach is paramount. Whether it’s the island’s natural resources or its people, we are passionate about supporting the rich and diverse ecosystem we live in, and find it incredibly fulfilling when we unite for the greater good of all. 

Established in 1967, we are staffed and led by locals who understand the needs of the landscapes and community members we serve. Camano Island residents are served by the Snohomish Conservation District.
