  • WCCD At Work: Kristen Sutter

    It’s a muddy day on the farm, and the bark of a dog echoes as you step out of the truck, boots sinking into the soft ground. It's a far cry from the office, but this is where the work happens — on the land, with real problems to solve. For Kristen, a technician with the Washtenaw County Conservation District, this is all in a day's work.

  • New partnership & more tools: Washtenaw Tool Bank Collective!

    We're excited to announce the new and improved Washtenaw Tool Bank Collective in partnership with the Growing Hope Urban Farm. Now we offer even more tools through one platform from multiple locations: WCCD offices (Ann Arbor) AND the Growing Hope farm (Ypsilanti). Check it out and reserve tools for this spring projects today!
