How do conservation easements and the work of the Methow Conservancy benefit the Methow Valley?
Conservation easements help to ensure that vital wildlife habitat remains intact for future generations and help to protect the beautiful scenery that so many enjoy. Conservation easements that protect agricultural and ranch lands also help to ensure that these historically important ways of life may continue in this Valley. The Methow Conservancy has brought over $4 million to the local economy to reimburse private landowners for the development rights they voluntarily forego when they elect to sign a conservation easement. We are dedicated to the future of the Methow Valley and deeply committed to helping maintain the unusual qualities of our land and community.
