Resources for Managing My Forest

Conservation Easements

• The voluntary Forest Riparian Easement Program (FREP) reimburses landowners for the value of trees they are required to leave behind near streams, wetlands, seeps, or unstable slopes.
• The Rivers and Habitat Open Space Program is available to eligible Washington state landowners who would like to sell a permanent forestland conservation easement to the state.
• DNR's Forest Legacy Program.

For information on non-DNR conservation easements, check out the Washington Association of Land Trusts or the Washington state Recreation and Conservation Office.
