The King Conservation District awarded County Councilwoman Kathy Lambert with a Conservation Leader Award. The honor, announced in early November, came in recognition of her support of community members’ conservation work.
“Councilmember Lambert has been a champion for King CD and vital to our success,” the district’s Chairman Bill Knutsen said in a news release.

Lambert, whose district includes the Snoqualmie Valley, understands the importance of conservation efforts that are “manageable and affordable for the landowner,” Knutsen said.
Lambert has helped keep money for the district, including its Agricultural Drainage Assistance Program, and Agriculture and Forestry commissions.
Three other award winners were announced at the same time. Art Groeneweg, of Carnation, won the district’s Conservation Landowner Award. Bill Peloza, an Auburn City Councilman, received the Service Award. Seattle-based Cascade Harvest Coalition was named the best partner organization. The city of Kent received the Local Government Conservation Award.
Winners were selected by members of the district’s board of supervisors with staff recommendations based on criteria for each award.
The King Conservation District provides conservation information and technical assistance programs to landowners on a voluntary basis. It also awards grants for conservation projects by municipalities and non-government organizations.
