The 2026 Crab Creek Summit will take place on May 28 at 9:00 am at the Wanapum Heritage Center, bringing together regional leaders, agency representatives, and conservation partners for a full day of collaboration and discussion focused on the future of the Columbia Basin.

On Saturday, April 18, 2026, participants gathered at Big Bend Community College to learn practical, sustainable approaches to growing food at the 2026 Grant-Adams Eco-Gardening Symposium. Designed to support both home gardeners and small-scale producers, the event offered research-based guidance focused on building healthier soils, improving productivity, and strengthening local food systems.

Improving water quality starts at home. Your septic system plays a bigger role than you might think. The Columbia Basin Conservation District (CBCD) offers a Septic Rebate Program to help homeowners living in Moses Lake maintain their systems while reducing nutrient pollution. If you qualify, you can receive up to $800 for a septic inspection, pumping, or minor repairs.
