Underwood Conservation District

Underwood Conservation District Underwood CD is a grant funded, non-regulatory service district that works with willing landowners.

Underwood Conservation District (UCD) helps landowners and land managers enhance and protect natural resources on a voluntary basis. We can provide assistance in areas such as conservation planning, water and soil protection, wildlife habitat improvement, wildfire risk reduction (Firewise) and much more. UCD can also help arrange for cost sharing assistance in implementing projects that improve or

protect natural resources. Like other conservation districts, UCD is a not-for-profit, non-regulatory agency, available to assist landowners in natural resource conservation.

Scotch broom (𝘊𝘺𝘵𝘪𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘶𝘴) is a very aggressive class B noxious w**d that crowds out native plants and the seeds are toxic to livestock and horses. Smaller infestations can be controlled by pulling or cutting. An excellent tool for pulling larger plants is the w**d wrench and we have several in our tool library (www.ucdwa.org/farm-tool-library.) You can also cut these at soil level to minimize soil disturbance. Most importantly, do this before it goes to seed. Now is the time!

Planting natives can bring about huge rewards. Some of the rewards include: less water requirements once established, feeding native pollinators and local wildlife species, less maintenance overall and they bring beauty to your yard. Oregon Sunshine (𝘌𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘭𝘭𝘶𝘮 𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘮) is a perfect example of how native plants can bring beauty and joy to your yard. We hope you’re enjoy sunshine of some kind today!

Dear Residents,

As part of our commitment to community resilience, we are inviting local EV drivers to participate in a vital safety study conducted by the University of Washington.

Researchers are seeking input from EV drivers who live, work, or own property in Central and Eastern Washington—specifically within Skamania, Klickitat, Spokane, Stevens, Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, Ferry, Benton, Yakima, Kittitas, Okanogan, and Chelan counties.

Your feedback will directly influence future policies on charging infrastructure and emergency response, ensuring that our rural communities remain resilient during wildfire events.

Official Survey Link: https://uwashington.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_e3QtLbUuPaTdDmu
Completion Time: Approximately 25 minutes.
Deadline: May 31, 2026.

Thank you for helping us improve wildfire safety and community stewardship in our region.

Best,
Yu-Chen Chu
