Category Overview
Forestland Preservation grants help improve opportunities for forest management activity and improve the long-term growth and harvest of timber. These projects help protect many different kinds of forests, including, but not limited to, large-scale industrial forests, small private landowner forests, community forests, and tribally - or publicly-owned and managed forests.
Project Highlights
Whatcom County used this grant to purchase a forestry conservation easement on the Kiera-Duffy property. The easement removed two development rights and protects 56.5 acres of working forestland in Whatcom County.
