Funding awarded to conserve 6,300 acres of working forest in Trout Lake, Washington We are excited to share the success of a funding application we submitted in partnership with The Conservation Fund, the Washington Department of Natural Resources, and Green Diamond Resource Company.     The $8,250,000 award will enable the future conservation of 6,378 acres of forestland outside Trout Lake, Washington, through the federal Forest Legacy Program.    The project will help support a thriving forestry workforce in south central Washington, underpinning hundreds of jobs. When completed, this conservation effort will also protect Trout Lake’s drinking water supply, conserve critical habitat for fish and wildlife, and ensure public recreation access, which is a thriving contributor to the regional economy.

Dave and I together have only 6 available, but a trilogy coming out soon... making that 9. And we are exhausted! lol  Chantal has written in many differ...
