Lands Protections - Principles
The Yakima Basin Integrated Plan team is committed to land
protection that:
- Enhances watershed and fish habitat protection and preserves or improves recreational opportunities;
- Minimizes negative effects on existing or reasonably foreseeable
economic uses;
- Directly complements other actions in the Integrated Plan;
Purchases private lands only from willing sellers at fair market value;
Maintains economic uses where lands have historically been used as working lands; and
Includes long-term funding for restoration and management activities.
