The West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District helps residents of Multnomah County with conservation planning, invasive weeds, native plants, livestock management, grant funding, wildlife, healthy woods, habitat restoration, school gardens and many other projects. site
The District was established in 1944 to direct agricultural producers to technical assistance resources, such as our partners the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS).
Originally organized as the Sauvie Island Soil Conservation District, in 1975 we expanded to our current size and changed our name to the West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District.
District voters approved a tax base in November 2006, ensuring a stable revenue source for programs delivered to citizens of Multnomah County, west of the Willamette River and Sauvie Island, beginning in fiscal year 2007-2008.
