King County Forestry Program

Want to help preserve Green Spaces in King County, and learn how to do it?
Want to lower your property tax?
You might be able to do both!

Raging River Conservation Group supports the King County Forestry Program, and encourages you to attend the upcoming class.

SAVE THE DATE!
“Forest Stewardship Coached Planning – a forestry class for Property Owners”
