Resources Overview
Everyone has a role to play in the conservation of natural resources. We are here to help you access the tools you need to protect and maintain natural resources like soil, water, and wildlife habitat.

This searchable database of plants native to the mid-Willamette Valley can help you become more familiar with the stars of healthy local habitats.
Invasive Plants Database

Request Support
If you would like to have our resource conservationist come out to visit your site and discuss your concerns/issues/practices, please email Donna Schmitz (dschmitz@bentonswcd.org). Put “site visit” in the subject line and let her know what type of property you manage (crop land, pasture, forest, streambank, suburban lot, etc.), and a little bit about your concerns (erosion, habitat, manure, weeds, etc.).
