The Franklin Conservation District was awarded a DOE Improving Air Quality in Overburdened Communities grant to boost air quality efforts by creating and implementing programming in Benton & Franklin Counties. Benton Conservation District has partnered with FCD to work together to create programs that directly support conservation efforts in our community.

The development of Conservation District programs with air quality benefits is supported by the Department of Ecology with funding from Washington’s Climate Commitment Act. The CCA supports Washington’s climate action efforts by putting cap-and-invest dollars to work reducing climate pollution, creating jobs, and improving public health.
