About WICD

Most people agree that conservation works best when people who live and work in an area learn to take care of their own natural resources. Established in 1967, Whidbey Island Conservation District is guided by a five-member volunteer board of supervisors and local staff with professional expertise, all of whom have a personal investment and interest in improving the quality of life in their communities on Whidbey Island.
​
​As political sub-divisions of state government, conservation districts provide resources and programs that are voluntary and incentive-based, and available to all interested landowners and residents that live on Whidbey Island. WICD's technical assistance and educational programming is also free, non-regulatory, and can be tailored to meet your conservation goals.

We are the "boots on the ground" here on Whidbey, and WICD strives to be a community resource that empowers landowners, residents, and communities to conserve natural resources for the benefit of those now and in the future. Camano Island residents are served by the Snohomish Conservation District.
