BMLT recently completed our 19th conservation easement project on a wheat farm outside of Dixie, WA, adding 661 acres to our protected properties for a total of 23,313 acres protected. A majority of this farmland contains soils of statewide significance, a precious resource if developed, will never recover. Thanks to members of the BMLT community, the Eagleson family, and project funders, the farm will continue as productive agricultural land forever.
