‘Land rush’ puts cash pressure on North Olympic Land Trust
April 7th, 2007A local version of a “land rush” has North Olympic Land Trust leaders scrambling to figure out how to respond to all the landowners who are asking the nonprofit organization to help them protect special qualities of their land. “It’s wonderful that we’re getting three to four calls a week from landowners,” said John Willits, Conservation Committee chairman. “It’s clear that the interest and needs are out there. Our capacity is limited, however, unless we can increase our funding to cover the additional costs of an increasing number of conservation agreements.”
In addition to paying for the staff time each easement requires, Willits said the Land Trust must make sure the organization will have the resources to remain financially stable and uphold the agreements, which are legally enforceable in perpetuity.
