The Washington State Forest Legacy Program

Deadline: 5/27/05

Link: http://www.dnr.wa.gov/htdocs/amp/forest_legacy/legacyhome.html

The Forest Legacy Program is a federal grant program to protect forestlands from conversion to non-forest uses. In Washington State, the program is guided by the US Forest Service and carried out through the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

Through the program, federal grants pay for conservation easements and other means that prevent development. The Forest Legacy Program provides for both traditional forest uses and the protection of water, cultural resources, fish and wildlife.
