Volunteers help Underwood Conservation District staff pack more than 200 orders of native tree and shrub seedlings this past week. UCD serves residents with advice and natural resource conservation projects in Skamania and western Klickitat Counties. Several conservation districts work with farmers and residents in various Columbia Gorge counties on a voluntary, non-regulatory basis to help people manage their acreage, rebuild degraded habitat, reduce wildfire hazards, and other efforts. Native plant sales are a traditional annual program at conservation districts.
