Triple Creek Ranch 2008
- Status
- Funded in 2009
Kittitas County will use this grant to buy the development rights on 200 acres of prime farmland, known as the Triple Creek Ranch. The same family has owned the 400-acre farm for 66 years and raises hay and cattle. The landowners are resisting development pressures and partnering with Kittitas County, the Cascade Land Conservancy, the Yakama Nation, and the Washington Rivers Conservancy to conserve their farm. Triple Creek Ranch has rich riparian habitat in Upper Wilson Creek, a critical wildlife corridor for the valley. Kittitas County will contribute $1.3 million in labor, donated land, and local and federal grants. (08-1323)
