Innovative Conservation Strategies to Preserve Land
C
ome hear Glenn Lamb, Executive Director of Columbia Land Trust, discuss new collaborative strategies to conserve what locals love best about Oregon and Washington in Conservation of the Great Northwest: New Perspectives and Strategies.
MAC members have the opportunity to learn about new conservation methods and how they can take conservation actions, including improving habitat value in their own backyard, during this presentation on Tuesday, Nov. 15 from 6-7 p.m. Lamb discusses strategies including tax incentives, land ownership, partnerships with farmers and ranchers and habitat recovery, as well as the unique ecology and geology of the
Pacific Northwest. He also presents a brief historical review of conservation and land use in the Pacific Northwest. Columbia Land Trust, along with more than 30 other land trusts in the Northwest, are crafting innovative strategies in part- nership with landowners. To date, these partnerships have conserved more than 200,000 acres of land – equal to more than 300 square miles of forests, farms, rivers, and streams. In the next few years, Northwest land trusts are poised to do even more. There is no cost for this lecture, but registration is requested.
