Greenprint for King County
A Model for Conservation

The Greenprint for King County Report describes a regional conservation strategy that King County plans to apply to protect open space resources for such purposes as salmon recovery, farm and forest preservation, flood hazard reduction, parks and regional trails. The Greenprint strategy is informed by Geographic Information Systems, or GIS, which evaluates the King County landscape to identify land conservation options that provide the greatest public benefits. The Greenprint for King County Report also reflects completion of a King County Conservation Finance Study and extensive public outreach.

The Greenprint strategy and GIS model were conceived by the Trust for Public Land project team and King County staff.. The Greenprint for King County strategy received a 2005 Honor Award, in the category of emerging technology, from the American Planning Association and the Planning Association of Washington. For more information about the Greenprint project, please see about the King County Greenprint Project.
