Campton
Township Park
This is a small wetland restoration/demonstration
project on Brown Road in Wasco. Volunteers are
needed to help plant native vegetation, control
invasive plant species and monitor plant growth.
Tree
Sale
The annual tree sale, held in conjunction with Earth
Day in April, is a big event! Volunteers are needed
to pack bareroot trees and shrubs.
Used Oil
Help the environment, and help us staff the
Used Oil Collections held from April
to October approximately once a month in various
locations around the county. Volunteers are needed
to empty used oil containers into 50 gallon barrels.
It's a messy job, but a worthwhile cause!

Becoming a Director or Associate Director...
Each year elections are held for 2-3 seats
serving two year terms as
directors for the Soil and Water Conservation
District. If you are interested in becoming involved
in the Soil & Water Conservation District attending
board meetings will give
you a better understanding of what we do.
Associate Directors
are volunteers interested in providing advice to the
Soil & Water Conservation District in their area of
expertise, yet do not have the time to commit to
serving on the Board. If you have an interest
in becoming involved, attending a
Board Meeting will give
you a better understanding of what we do.
