Kitsap Conservation District (KCD) has worked with individuals and communities to conserve natural resources and manage water quality, soils, and natural habitats for the benefit of the public for over 70 years. KCD provides technical, financial, and educational resources to meet the needs of the local landowner for the conservation of natural resources. Kitsap county residents have shown an interest in preserving the health of watershed they live in. The Low Impact Development (LID) / Rain Garden Program provides the funding and assistance to install LID practices like rain gardens, cisterns, swales and soakage trenches to manage storm water. Storm water runoff is rain that falls on paved surfaces such as streets, parking areas, rooftops or other developed land. The water picks up pollutants like oil and gas, heavy metals, fertilizers, and animal waste. It then flows into nearby gutters and storm drains, and from there into local waterways including streams, lakes, rivers and eventually Puget Sound. Salmon play an integral part of Pacific Northwest tribal religion, culture, and physical sustenance. Polluted storm water impacts the health of juvenile and adult Coho salmon so managing storm water with LID practices supports native culture and foodways. The Member will assist in planning and installing LID practices and provide environmental education to farm, forest, and residential landowners on the importance of storm water management. They will also support other District program offerings to community members and build relationships with partner organizations and engage underserved groups with environmental programming. This is an Americorps national service position. This position is contingent upon funding and open until filled.
