Jefferson Land Trust’s Conservation Plan
When Jefferson Land Trust turned 20, we began to think about our next 100 years — what we collectively wanted our corner of the Olympic Peninsula to look like a century from now, and what we would have to do now to make it happen.
So, we brought the community together to develop a vision and a conservation plan. First, we asked for input from local citizens, natural resource managers, regional partners, national conservation organizations and scientists. Then, we crafted a vision reflecting our shared aspirations for the future, along with concrete actions that would help to get us there.
HABITAT: Habitat is biologically diverse, interconnected, and supports viable populations of keystone species.
AGRICULTURE: A thriving, sustainable agricultural industry is prominent in the local economy, culture, and landscape — and is supported by greater demand for local food.
FORESTRY: Large tracts of working forests are permanently protected for stable and sustainable production, wildlife habitat, scenic viewsheds, ecosystem services, and recreational uses.
RECREATION & TOURISM: The wild and scenic character of our county is preserved and a network of trail corridors and recreational lands provides abundant access to natural rural areas and connectivity between our towns.
