Welcome VSP Administrators

Washington State’s Voluntary Stewardship Program (VSP) provides an alternative approach for counties to address our state’s Growth Management Act requirements. The program uses a watershed-based, incentive-based process to protect critical areas, promote viable agriculture, and encourage cooperation among diverse stakeholders.

The Commission, after consultation with the Technical Panel and Statewide Advisory Committee and comment from VSP stakeholders, has adopted a new policy advisory dealing with adaptive management in VSP. The policy advisory was a result of discussions about adaptive management as part of the first five year reporting process. The new policy advisory can be found here, and provides some insight for VSP stakeholders, and particularly county work groups and implementers, on how to address adaptive management in VSP.‍‍
