Due to the risk of exposure to the novel coronavirus and the associated respiratory illness COVID-19 in Washington State, the Benton Conservation District is taking the following steps to reduce exposure to the virus.

1. The BCD office is CLOSED.

2. Some staff are working remotely to reduce their exposure. Phone or email is the best way to reach staff.

3. BCD is scheduling site visits but we are following strict social distancing guidelines and wearing masks.

4. BCD will not hold workshops or public gatherings until guidance from the State of Washington changes.

Questions may be directed to Mark Nielson, District Manager. (509) 416-0440 x. 101 or mark-nielson@conservewa.net.
