How to Get Started Implementing a Project with TCD
POSTPONED
Thurston Conservation District works with directly residents to put projects on the ground! This presentation will go through some of the steps involved in designing, permitting, and constructing your goal such as a manure management structure, heavy use area, or fencing to exclude livestock from waterways. The goals is to provide you with tips on what to expect while going through the implementation process and help you learn about different cost share opportunities that may be available for your project. These projects have a direct positive impact on our shared watersheds and the ecosystems that support fish and wildlife habitat. This workshop is specifically for folks living in the Deschutes Watershed – ask if you’re not sure!
