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

The Land Trust leveraged WWRP Working Forest grant funds with Federal and local grants, and on February 15, 2023 recorded a perpetual working forest conservation easement on approximately 110 acres of the Kristoferson Farm on Camano Island. A WWRP Farmland CE was recorded on the 122 agricultural acres of the property.
