​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, we are staffed and led by locals who understand the needs of the landscapes and community members we serve.

Conservation districts are non-regulatory, boots-on-the-ground providers of expertise, education, and resources. District staff assess your specific needs on an individual basis, make stewardship recommendations and help fund appropriate solutions.
​
​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. Camano Island residents are served by the Snohomish Conservation District.

Stewardship
We empower people to care for natural resources through their own land management decisions using scientifically backed best practices & financial assistance.

Conservation Planning
Conservation planning teaches you about your land's soil, water, air, plant, animal, economic, and energy capabilities and limitations, allowing you to make informed stewardship decisions.

Events & Education
We offer free workshops, classes and demonstrations to teach you tangible skills and stewardship principles.
