Helping
Landowners
Our conservation specialists help landowners assess the
natural systems on their land, evaluate the options, and
determine the best conservation
techniques to use. Through voluntary
donations and land
protection agreements, the Great Peninsula Conservancy
is now responsible for the stewardship of working farms
and forestlands, creeks, estuaries and shorelines.
Serving
Communities
People want to
protect what they love, and here on the Great Peninsula
it is easy to fall in love with place. In communities throughout
the region, neighbors have joined neighbors to protect the
special places near their homes. Working with the Great
Peninsula Conservancy, citizen groups are protecting forever
woodlands and wetlands, streams and shorelines in their
own neighborhoods.
Building
Partnerships
To accomplish land conservation in an era of escalating
land values and diminishing public funds requires that we
forge new and innovative partnerships to leverage our scarce
resources. Working with partners throughout the region,
the Great Peninsula Conservancy is making great strides
in preserving natural systems that are critical to the health
of all communities.

The
Great Peninsula region of western Puget Sound spans
Kitsap, Mason, and west Pierce counties. We who live here
are blessed with extraordinary beauty, abundant nature and
solitude - amongst pristine beaches, quiet forests, rich
tidelands, wide open spaces and scenic farmlands. We live
in a world where it’s still not too late to hear
the song of rare birds, the splash of spawning salmon, or
to see eagles and osprey soaring overhead.
The
Conservancy’s mission assures our children and grandchildren
that these places, these natural treasures, will remain
here for them and their children, too.
