Category Overview
Farmland Preservation protects valuable farmland and habitat for recreationally important animals, like salmon, birds, deer, and elk. These projects allow families to continue farming the land they have worked on for generations, and provide Washingtonians with healthy local food and a diverse economy. WWRP is the only source of farmland preservation funding in the state budget.
Project Highlights
The Land Trust leveraged WWRP Farmland grant funds with Federal and local grants, and on February 15, 2023 recorded a perpetual farmland conservation easement on approximately 122 acres of the Kristoferson Farm on Camano Island. A WWRP Working Forest CE was recorded on the forested 110 acres of the property.
