NOLT merging with Friends of the Fields

 At the Annual Meeting on Saturday, March 13th, the members voted unanimously to approve the merger between the two organizations.

The merger of our two organizations will create a unified and efficient program focused on sustaining agriculture in Clallam County. The merged NOLT organization will form a new committee called “Friends of the Fields.” This committee will be responsible for prioritizing farmland acquisition, farmland development rights acquisition, and activities or projects directly associated with sustainable agriculture here in the County. A Farmland Conservation Specialist will be hired to help facilitate the Committee.

Our organizations have long worked together on farmland conservation. FoF has led fundraising activities and prepared grants to protect 151 acres of farmland in the Sequim-Dungeness Valley. NOLT has provided the legal agreements known as conservation easements that permanently preserve 111 of those acres for agriculture and also protect such other qualities as wildlife habitat, timber, scenic vistas, open space and cultural heritage. NOLT has also assumed the responsibility for making sure the easements are upheld in perpetuity.
