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
Whatcom County used this grant to purchase an agricultural conservation easement on the TeVelde property. The easement removed one development right and protects 19.6 acres of prime farmland in Whatcom County.
