The
Methow Conservancy is a nonprofit organization
dedicated to inspiring people to care for the land of
the
Methow Valley.
Our conservation
tools include:
- Conservation easements:
we have protected 5,646 acres and 18.3 miles of critical riparian shoreline
habitat along the Methow River and its tributaries. Our easements help
families keep their farms and ranches and protect the open space and
scenic views that regularly draw tens of thousands of visitors
to the Valley.
- Stewardship: we annually
monitor all of our easement lands and work with landowners to care for
the long-term health of their land.
- Education: we host a monthly
natural history lecture series and provide field trip opportunities
to raise awareness about conservation issues; we publish numerous informative
brochures, and provide a natural resource library at our office.
