- Funded in 2011
The Okanogan Valley Land Council (OVLC) will use this grant to buy a permanent, voluntary land preservation agreement on 1,590 acres of an OkanoganValley ranch. The agreement will keep valuable rangeland and significant soils intact for agricultural use, allowing the ranch to continue working rather than becoming house sites. The land includes 47 acres of wetlands that provide exceptional waterfowl habitat and other riparian values critical to the arid climate. The OVLC, in partnership with Trust for Public Land, will contribute $849,200 in the form of a federal grant, appraisal fees, staff labor and donated labor.
