The program is designed to offset some of the costs that local governments, land trusts and soil-and-water conservation districts incur in acquiring conservation easements to protect agricultural land from being converted to non-agricultural use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The grants include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Town of Warwick: $989,700 to protect 145 acres of a beef cattle operation owned by William Brown and Barbara Felton in Warwick.
