Program Description The National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and the Washington State Conservation Commission (WSCC) have established the Pioneers in Conservation Grant Program to develop innovative projects that benefit salmon recovery while also strengthening the viability of agriculture and small-scale forestry businesses in Washington State. Pioneers in Conservation grants are intended to help farmers and foresters protect and restore salmon habitat in a manner that is both environmentally sustainable for the fish and economically sustainable for the farm or forest business. This program is also intended to strengthen the farm and forest conservation community partnerships that emerged through development of the Salmon Recovery Plan by Shared Strategy for Puget Sound and similar efforts across Washington State.
