The Pierce Conservation District works with local landowners and public agencies to conserve natural resources that are essential to both our economy and our region\u2019s quality of life.

Harvest Pierce County is the Urban Agriculture wing of Pierce Conservation District. With a focus on justice, connection, and equity, Harvest Pierce County’s vision is that our region has a thriving community engaged in a just and healthy food system.
