The Question We Tested:
“Would a coalition of leading private sector
organizations partner with King County, its cities,
and our non-profit partners to invest $50 million
towards this Initiative over the next 10 years?”

“Impact Investors”
• Lower borrowing costs via loan guarantees
• Foundations’ Program Related Investments (PRIs) will have limited applicability
• Opportunities to “accelerate” the rate of land acquisitions
Private Equity Conservation Investors “Buy, Hold, Sell”

Future Ecosystem Services Markets
Most promising markets for land conservation in KC:
• Carbon credits• Stormwater
Many other, potentially large, markets … But, too much uncertainty right now to assign $$ est.

Carbon Credits
Sources: older forests in fee acq., preservation esmt acq., or private working forest enrollments
Size of opportunity ($$)• Supply from LCI lands• Buyers for credits• Start-up costs,
logistical barriers?

Carbon Credits to Fund the LCIForecast: Low-end High-endValue to the LCI* $25 million $33 million
Probability of Success: 70%
Expected Value: $18 million $21 million
Recommended FundingAssumption: $20 million* Value = direct carbon revenues for fee acq. & preservation esmt acq. + avoided acquisition costs for private working forest easements

Stormwater – L.I.D. Flow Control Credits
Concept: • Standards likely raised
within a decade
• Offsite credit purchase from new facilities, programs, or land conservation will allow both development flexibility & stormwaterfunction in watershed
Projected funding:• $13 million (range $6m - $28m)
• Further refinement ongoing

Other Financing Mechanisms
• Most “fill-the-gap” mechanisms, need more aggregated and higher cash-flowing assets
Potentially applicable to LCI:• Conservation-in-lieu-of-interest loans • Partial acquisitions / limited development fund• Timberlands aggregation…
But, insufficient scale or certainty at this point
