WA State Legislature Approves Finn Hall Grant Request

In May 2008, FOF applied for and was awarded a Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) grant covering half of the cost to purchase the development rights on Finn Hall Farm, 60 acres of prime farmland located on the bluffs in Agnew. An application was submitted to the federal Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program to cover part of the required matching funds but was not successful largely due to ranking criteria that are not favorable to Clallam County.

The timeline for raising the matching funds for the 2008 RCO grant expired so we are currently applying for another grant under the 2010 RCO funding cycle. Because the federal Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program is not a viable funding source for our county, we must raise the entire $636,000 matching locally.

Your contribution will help us preserve another working farm in Washington. Please join us in this effort by making a contribution to North Olympic Land Trust’s Farmland Preservation Fund today.
