Lincoln County is currently in the Implementation and Monitoring phase of VSP. This phase of VSP will highlight existing conservation practices on agricultural lands that are protecting critical areas in Lincoln County.

Lincoln County opted into VSP as a non-regulatory alternative to the Critical Area Ordinances of the Growth Management Act. If regulatory measures of the GMA are enforced it would be a one-size-fits-all approach that producers would need to follow to protect critical areas. Failure to demonstrate voluntary critical areas protection through producer participation will result in these additional regulations.

Be a part of this innovative and voluntary approach as an alternative to historic regulatory approaches used to protect critical areas.

Voluntary participation in VSP will help allocate resources, provide technical assistance and avoid additional regulation.
