Forest and Farm Plans

If your sending site is in a Forest Production District, you will need to complete a Forest Stewardship Plan. King County can help with development of this plan. Contact Bill Loeber for assistance in completing a forest stewardship plan.

Sending sites in Agricultural Production Districts will require a current Farm Plan. The King Conservation District external link can help you develop a farm plan.

For questions about the TDR Program, please contact Nicholas Bratton, TDR Program Manager, or Anne-Gigi Chan, Land Conservation Project Manager, King County WLRD Rural and Regional Services Section.
