Project Highlights
Whatcom County and the Whatcom Land Trust will use this grant to purchase a forestland conservation easement on about 55.6 acres of privately held forestland. The easement will permanently extinguish 2 development rights thereby ensuring that the land remains available for timber harvest in perpetuity.
