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
Jefferson Land Trust will use this grant to purchase conservation easements on 115 acres of two adjoining farms located at the head of Quilcene Bay in Jefferson County. The easements will extinguish four development rights. The primary benefit of this project is the preservation of working farmland.
