2026 District Service Poll

The Umatilla SWCD is seeking your input on how to best serve the landowners of Umatilla County in the coming years. Please let us know which of the following categories you would like to see more District focus. Or, if you have an idea that is not listed, please let us know in the free spot below:

First Name (required)

Last Name (required)

In your own words, what does the District do?

What is the greatest natural resource issue facing your operation right now?

What is the greatest natural resource issue you see within the next 5 - 10 years?

What would be more useful to your operation in your opinion:

Large, program specific grants that impact multiple landowners (>$100,000), with heavy red tape and long processing time (6 months to 2 years);

Small, tailored individual grant projects (<$20,000) that have a shorter, streamlined turn-around time (3 months or less)

What is more useful to your operation:

The District securing large, program specific dollars for our region that impact multiple landowners, entire watersheds, multiple resource concerns, or project types.

The District providing one-on-one technical assistance for landowners (helping explain rules, regulations, writing grazing management plans, documentation, providing designs, offering monitoring services, etc.)

In your mind, what is the role of the District in Umatilla County? (Compared to NRCS, FSA, others.) What should we do differently than others?

If you could only have one, would you rather have the District represent farmers, ranchers, and landowners in Umatilla County initiatives and action groups or just work on projects for your individual operation?
