Program

Forterra provides landowners opportunities to conserve their land. Employing creative and innovative tools, we work to consider the many ways land supports the wellbeing of all.

The health of the environment and the health of people is grounded in how land is developed, owned and managed. Forterra not only conserves natural spaces and working lands, we also invest in places where people live – because just like nature, our health depends on it.

Through individual, market-based transactions, development rights are transferred from our region’s privately owned farmland, forestland and natural areas to areas that can accommodate additional growth and density.

Our solution is simple – the Evergreen Restoration Program takes a holistic approach to improve climate resilience, restore critical habitat and provide clean water, air and natural areas in Puget Sound.
