Voluntary Stewardship Program-Thurston Conservation District

At Delphi Flower Farm in Olympia, grower Sheila Canning is restoring land and cultivating vibrant flowers with support from the Thurston County Conservation District. Together, they’ve tackled invasive species, created a whole-farm conservation plan, and restored stream habitat—reopening miles of salmon spawning grounds. The partnership shows how farming and conservation can work hand in hand to support healthy ecosystems and a resilient agricultural future.
