Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs

This partnership allows SCD to give back to veterans in a whole new way. Not only does it offer professional and personal growth and development, this type of work also provides a type of therapy, eco-therapy.

The WDVA has partnered with SCD to host a series of Veterans on staff through its Conservation Corps program. The VCC provides opportunities for Veterans to connect with nature in their own way while restoring Washington’s natural resources. This partnership has allowed SCD to not only give back to our communities through Low Impact Development projects, which help with water quality and quantity issues, but it also allows the District to give back to Veterans offering professional and personal development and growth.
