Today, WACD published an updated edition of the District Directory, a statewide compendium of conservation districts, partners, and people. However, due to the increasing amount of phishing emails reported to WACD over the past few years, we have decided to move the District Directory behind a password.
If you do not yet have the password you can request it, or ask for the Directory directly, from our Executive Office staff.
Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss. Source: Phishing.org
