Lacey and Thurston Team Up for Green Futures | Seattle News

The Thurston Conservation District is teaming up with the City of Lacey to tackle big environmental goals—stormwater, community gardens, habitat restoration, and water conservation—while reaching underserved communities. Since 1948, this non-regulatory group has quietly helped landowners with smaller, overlooked projects, like salmon recovery on Woodland Creek. They’ve already proven their model in Olympia, using data to place gardens in food deserts and partner with nonprofits. Now, they’re seeking stable local funding—raising rates via new state law and proposing a $10 million farmland preservation plan over ten years. Plus, they’re eyeing an education center to anchor long-term conservation efforts. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
