A conservation agreement, also called a conservation easement, is a legal agreement that permanently restricts the development or use of land to ensure the protection of its conservation values. What is stewardship?
Stewardship means taking care of the land. An important component of conserving land is taking care of the land. If we don’t care for these lands, they frequently stop keeping our air clean, our water clear and nature close to home. There are a variety of ways that natural lands can degrade: Neighbors may cut habitat trees, People sometimes dump yard debris introducing harmful varieties of plants and insects. Frequently, and perhaps most devastating, invasive plant species take over the property and the native plants die. These native plants are home to Northwest wildlife. The invasive plants dominate and take over a natural area. Then, our native birds and wildlife, not usually adapted to these strange plants or animals, cannot compete and die. The Three Rivers Stewardship Program strives to ensure that the natural values on our properties continue to thrive. The Stewardship Program can provide a great avenue for your involvement in Three Rivers. Frequent restoration events are held.
