Organizations in Pierce County eligible to sponsor or steward an open space conservation project through the Pierce County Conservation Futures program are invited to an upcoming information session in preparation for the 2025 application funding cycle.
Conservation Futures strives to ensure a high quality of life for all Pierce County residents now and in the future by providing funds to conserve open spaces like recreation areas, wildlife habitats, agricultural and forest resource lands, marine and shorelands, and other natural and cultural resources. The program, which is funded through property tax revenue, has conserved over 6,600 acres over the last 30 years, providing Pierce County residents with an array of benefits, including cleaner watersheds, secure local food sources, and new places to learn, recreate, and connect with nature.
