The Nature Conservancy’s Washington Conservation Science Program works with public and private agencies and institutions and on ecological monitoring, research, conservation planning, and adaptive management to improve conservation.

The Nature Conservancy works on many projects in Washington. On the Washington coast they promote sustainable fisheries, work with conserving the ocean habitat, and perserving forest and rivers. On the Puget Sound they started Farming for Wildlife. Farming for Wildlife is a project to create a sustainable landscape for a agricultural community to thrive in. In Eastern Washington science projects are enacted that conserve critical forests, sage lands and waters that support life.

The Nature Conservancy has other projects in Washington that are not location based. Projects that model of the impact of climate change on Washington’s biodiversity are being researched, along with Collins Projects and conservation planning. The Collins Project is promoting choice stewardship within our agricultural community. Conservation of biodiversity is attained by identifying critical lands and waters in Washington and working to conserve those areas.
