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.
