The Spokane Conservation District (SCD) has been active in the Spokane-area since the 1940s, teaching & facilitating sustainable land use and conservation practices to meet current needs while also planning resource use for the future.

The SCD was formed in 1973 through the consolidation of the Southwest Spokane, North Spokane, Central Spokane, and Latah-Rock Creek districts. We currently serve the citizens and resources of Spokane County, excluding Deer Park, and we work across county lines through the use of Memorandums of Understanding. An example of this is our Direct Seed Loan Program, which is administered in more than 15 Washington State counties, and a few North Idaho counties.
