On this month's episode of Conservation Starters, we chat with Paul D'Agnolo from the Office of Farmland Preservation at the WA State Conservation Commission and our own Nora Carman-White. They provide context and information about the state of farmland loss in Washington, why saving farmland from development is essential, and some of the tools for doing that preservation that support farmers, families, and communities. We specifically explore programs that support farmland preservation at the state level and TCD's own South Sound FarmLink program.
