Celebrations, challenges are annual event themes

Celebrations, challenges are annual event themes
About 70 supporters of North Olympic Land Trust’s work joined in a celebration and heard about the organization’s growing challenges Dec. 6 at The Bushwhacker Restaurant, Port Angeles.
Land Trust President Ken Sweeney said the organization has protected a record number of acres in the past year, but with that growth comes new responsibilities.
“We think we’re on track to help property owners protect special qualities of land on more than 300 acres by the end of 2007 or shortly after that,” Sweeney said. “But the more land we protect, the greater the associated costs for making sure conservation agreements are upheld in perpetuity. And as more people hear about the Land Trust and our outstanding partners, Friends of the Fields, the greater are the requests for our services.”

North Olympic Land Trust’s annual meeting Thursday (Dec. 1) will include a tribute to Dr. Harry Lydiard, who completed his fourth conservation agreement with the organization shortly before his death last week.
The newest agreement protects 150 acres of sustainable timberland west of Port Angeles. Previous agreements permanently protect 40 acres of farmland north of Sequim and 148 more acres of timberland west of Port Angeles.
During a 5 to 6 p.m. social hour preceding the meeting and program, the Land Trust will recruit volunteers to help plant trees to replace those harvested earlier this fall. The tree planting probably will be in February or March, said Robbie Mantooth, a Land Trust volunteer.
