Unprecedented Coalition Proposes Reserves Map
The Agriculture & Conservation community has come together to form an historic coalition to support thoughtful & responsible recommendations for the Urban & Rural process.
“Farmers and conservation groups have often disagreed in the past, but on this issue we strongly agree: urban sprawl destroys valuable farmland, streams, and wildlife habitat. Our proposal achieves a balance of protection for agriculture and natural resources while providing for common sense future growth in the region,” said Washington County Farm Bureau President Dave Vanasche at a press conference Monday.
