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 purchased a forestry conservation easement on the Moors property, which removed seven development rights and protects 36.48 acres of forestland for future forestry use. A Forest Management Plan was also developed for the property.
