San Juan Islands Land Bank & farmland conservation

An in-state Washington example — a public conservation agency consulting residents on land use, with outcomes communicated back to inform real Land Bank policy.

The San Juan Islands Land Bank ran this 2021 conversation to surface community priorities for preserving environmental, agricultural, and cultural lands across the islands. 404 voters across 293 statements, intended to inform policy going forward.
