Agricultural Burn Permits  As a Permitting Authority, our service includes assisting applicants with the Department of Ecology's Agricultural Burn Permitting Program Application, and issuing permits locally.                                                                                   
Annual Plant Sale  We offer a variety of plants, both native and domestic.  Orders are accepted from our Plant Sale Brochure September through December with the plants arriving mid-March.                                                                                                                                   
Contract Tree Plantings  Let us do the work for you.  We coordinate with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to get the correct plant count and variety necessary, order plants, and schedule planting crews.  
Cost- Share   Whitman Conservation District offers cost-share dollars for implementation of Best Management Practices (BMP's) that contribute to the improvement of water quality.   District cost-share is only available for implementation of projects on land located within the District Boundaries.
