Share Your Stewardship

Landowner participation is vital to the effectiveness of the Whitman County Voluntary Stewardship Program (VSP).

Collaborative engagement enables the expansion of technical assistance and cost-share programs, supporting the implementation of voluntary stewardship practices. These efforts demonstrate the collective impact of individual actions in preserving agricultural viability and protecting critical areas.
