Pend Oreille Conservation District is launching a new Agroforestry Technical Assistance Program to support landowners and producers who want to integrate trees, shrubs, and perennial systems into working lands.

This program is designed to improve:

• Farm and forest resilience
• Soil health and water quality
• Wildlife habitat and pollinator resources
• Long-term agricultural productivity
• Climate and drought adaptation

Through this effort, POCD will eventually provide planning, site visits, education, and project development support for agroforestry practices across Pend Oreille County.

Program Timeline

Winter – Spring 2026
POCD is currently:

• Conducting outreach and education
• Meeting with interested landowners
