Supporting 30 x 30

North Olympic Land Trust is committed to meeting the conservation goals of our community, and in doing so, the conservation goals of our nation. In support of the nation's 30x30 conservation goals, North Olympic Land Trust is doubling our farmland conservation pace while maintaining our already ambitious habitat conservation goals.

On January 27th, 2021, the President took Executive Action that, "commits to the goal of conserving at least 30 percent of our lands and oceans by 2030 and launches a process for stakeholder engagement from agricultural and forest landowners, fishermen, Tribes, States, Territories, local officials, and others to identify strategies that will result in broad participation. " (White House Press Release, January 27, 2021)

The Land Trust Alliance, a national alliance we are members of, notes: "Land trusts are our country’s primary drivers of private land conservation. Based in communities across the country, [we] are uniquely qualified to respond to local needs, conserving lands that provide clean air and water, natural climate solutions, sustainable food and fiber, biodiversity preservation, as well as equitable access to open spaces for respite, recreation and sustenance." (Land Trust Alliance, "30x30")

In 2022 and 2023, we are poised to meet our doubled pace of farmland conservation goals because of the incredible support of folks like you. Thank you! We look forward to continuing this momentum you helped us start.

In 2023, we are expanding our prairie conservation efforts by restoring a Traditional remnant prairie, while establishing prairies and oak-prairie habitats across Clallam County. 

This year we have a number of opportunities for conservation of wetlands and riparian corridors. 

Your support will help us meet community and national conservation goals. Thank you!
