Are you tired of horsing
around with your livestock?
Livestock and Land can help!
The SCD is excited to bring this new program to Spokane
County watersheds. Livestock and Land is a voluntary program which assists
horse and livestock property owners and boarding facilities with technical and
funding assistance for improving farm and ranch operations and protecting the
environment.
When it comes to livestock and working around your farm or
ranch, issues like mud and manure can be a formidable opponent. The Livestock
and Land Program is designed to help resolve those issues and make your
operation more chore efficient by helping with:
Mud Manure | Chore Efficiency |
Composting Paddocks | Pastures | Stormwater Drainage | Erosion | Conservation
Practices | Dust | Odors | Off-creek Watering | Heavy Use Areas | Riparian
Fencing | Roof and Gutter Systems
Through the Livestock and Land Program we can provide a
variety of Best Management Practices (BMPs) that address
your farm and ranch concerns, improve the health of your animals, protect local
natural resources, and increase the value of your property.

loading instructions.
In addition, we offer free site assessments
and provide a recommendation for your farm and/or ranch. There is also
information about demonstration site locations where you can see some of the
various BMPs in action.
For those interested in implementing BMP projects on their
property, we have a cost-sharing assistance program for improving land and
water quality. You can view cost-share rates for the various BMPs, though they
are subject to change.
Throughout the year the Livestock and Land Program will offer
workshops and trainings- those dates and information will be posted on the
Event Calendar. You can also sign
up to receive Livestock and Land news and announcements via
email.
