Conservation District Better-Ground Showcase Event
Everyone is invited to the Snohomish Conservation District (SCD) 2019 Better Ground Showcase to gather, celebrate, and share the stories of local conservation leaders. Award winners at this year’s event include Lora Hein and Nora Carlson of Edmonds.
 Nora and Lora were nominated for their outspoken support of the SCD Community Conservation program and their eagerness to serve as a demonstration site for sustainable living. In addition to installing solar panels, rain gardens, and implemented a number of low impact landscape features, they have also been strong advocates for SCD conservation programs at both the City and County levels.
The 2019 Better Ground Showcase will be held on April 25th, from 6-8pm at the Brightwater Education Center in Maltby.
The Snohomish County Tomorrow (SCT) Steering Committee has openings for two community members. Volunteers must reside in Snohomish County and be able to attend monthly Steering Committee meetings and contribute to discussions on growth policies.
SCT is a cooperative forum with representatives from the county, 19 of its cities, and the Tulalip Tribes. The group’s primary function is to oversee the written policies on growth management from which the county and cities’ comprehensive plans are developed.
The Steering Committee is composed of elected officials and citizen representatives that are accorded full participation in meetings and pre-vote discussions, but do not vote on decision items.
The Snohomish County Human Services Department has launched a public opinion survey seeking ideas and concerns from residents regarding long term care and aging programs and services within Snohomish County. Snohomish County runs significant programs to support those who need long term care or who take advantage of programs for seniors. The public survey will be available throughout the month of April and will close on May 15th.
