VSP Administration & Resources
Learn about local and state administration of the Voluntary Stewardship Program (VSP).
Local Administration
Walla Walla County opted into VSP in 2012 and in 2016 the legislature fully funded the program for the entire state. The county elected to have the Walla Walla County Conservation District direct the program. The VSP process calls for a local Watershed Work Group to guide the development of the county work plan. Our Work Group has representatives from the agriculture community (including livestock), tribal and environmental representatives, and other stakeholders. The county work plan includes, among other things, a list of the critical areas subject to VSP, an outreach plan, and benchmarks or goals for the county.

VSP Local Work Group Minutes
The VSP Local Work Group drafted the plan after more than a year of public meetings and discussion. WWCCD sought additional comments before the plan was finalized and submitted to the state level for review. But members of the public are always welcome to contact us at any time for more information. While the plan was under development, the Work Group met regularly. Now there will be an annual meeting to report progress.
The minutes of recent meetings are listed below:
