Bill would let WWRP habitat account help landowners pay for costly mitigation Senate Bill 6075 would amend the Habitat Conservation account of the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program to fund grants to landowners when Ecology or Fish and Wildlife mitigation costs exceed typical fees or deprive owners of more than 50% of the property's financial benefit; staff estimated a $100,000 implementation cost in fiscal 2027.

A new Senate bill could be a game-changer for Washington landowners facing crippling mitigation costs, offering much-needed financial relief and protecting property values.

Committee hears support and caution on moving Maine Natural Areas Program to IF&W Rep. Jim Dill presented LD 21‑18, a department bill to transfer the Maine Natural Areas Program (MNAP) from DACF to IF&W. Commissioner Judy Camuso said the move would align plant and wildlife conservation, reduce duplication and improve data use; stakeholders broadly supported transfer but urged careful limits on any new rulemaking authority.

Maine's Natural Areas Program is on the move, promising improved conservation efforts and streamlined data handling, but could it risk expanding regulatory authority?
