General Community Outreach

The following links are associated with the Latah Soil and Water Conservation District's efforts to provide community outreach to the general public within Latah County.

Latah Soil and Water Conservation District has added a blog (http://blog.latahsoil.org) to its Internet outreach efforts. The blog will feature the latest news about local conservation efforts, community and economic development, and conservation program announcements relevant to landowners and land users within Latah County.

The blog will focus on agriculture, forestry, livestock, fisheries, invasive species, land use planning, water resources, wildlife, and endangered species. It will provide a portal to local, state, and federal government agencies and officials.

Blogs are increasingly used by conservation organizations to provide up-to-the minute news and multimedia content to Internet users. They help people sift through the vast amount of information found on the Internet. Blog subscribers are notified via their home page's "reader" when something has been posted on the blog.

In an effort to provide timely information to the people of Latah County, The Latah Soil and Water Conservation District publishes The Working Conservationist newsletter four times a year. Copies of the newsletter can be found at many businesses and libraries throughout the county. To receive a copy of the newsletter by mail click here.
