2019 Annual Report

Don Paulson Note from our Executive Director

As Great Peninsula Conservancy celebrates our 20th anniversary, we see firsthand our community’s resilience in the face of change and challenge. Now, in the midst of the 2020 pandemic, our members’ extraordinary commitment to protect vital lands and waters shines through brighter than ever. I find it inspirational. Words alone can do little to express the deep sense of gratitude felt by our staff and board. Thank you! I hope this annual report provides a glimmer of light as we all deal with the challenges posed by COVID-19. Last year hundreds of community members joined GPC in land protection campaigns like Hahobas and Miller Bay. Folks got their hands dirty at stewardship events and volunteered with the NextGen Outdoor Camp. All of these components of GPC’s mission — conservation, stewardship, and connecting people with nature — expand our reach to carry on the tradition that our founders began 20 years ago. As we look to the future in our rapidly growing region, GPC needs to become an even greater champion of our forests, shorelines, streams, and open spaces. I'm excited to continue our vital work and forge new partnerships to conserve the best of our cherished lands. Thank you for making the last two decades of conservation possible and please join us as we start our journey into the next 20 years. Thank you,

Nathan Daniel Executive Director Fulfilling our Mission Saving the Places Conserve Engage You Love

Our mission is to conserve vibrant forests, streams, shorelines, and community greenspaces. We commit to caring for the lands we Steward protect to ensure wildlife and people enjoy the many benefits of nature well into the future. And we enrich lives by offering opportunities for people to experience nature close up.

Great Peninsula Conservancy 3 2019 Conservation Projects Your Dollars Protect Land Where We Work Hahobas Shoreline Preserve: 162 acres Kitsap, north Mason, and west Pierce counties. Six partners, over $400,000 in GPC member donations, and an expected $511,000 in grants helped protect the Hood Canal shoreline and upland forest of this former Boy Scout camp forever! The preserve protects vital habitat for forage fish that are important prey in the food chain for orcas and salmon. The forest and streams protect bears, birds, and other wildlife. Signage will be installed to make the preserve more open and accessible to the public.

Miller Bay Preserve: 13 acres Working with the Friends of Miller Bay, GPC acquired this preserve at the end of 2019 to connect a wildlife corridor in the Miller Bay Watershed that now exceeds 300 acres. A community campaign raised over $150,000 from GPC members and dedicated Miller Bay residents. (Aerial photo contributed by Bonnie Chandler.)

Parker Forest Easement: 17 acres Kim Parker donated 17 acres on his lovely "La La Land" property that he purchased and homesteaded with his wife years ago. He wanted to ensure that the mature North Kitsap forest would never be developed and displace the wildlife he loves to observe.

Big Beef Shoreline: 12 acres Thanks to a partnership with the Hood Canal Coordinating Council's In-Lieu Fee Mitigation Program, GPC will forever protect the outlet of Big Beef for salmon, shellfish, and majestic eagles that feed on the intertidal habitat each summer.

East Rocky Creek Preserve: 34 acres Starting in the 1980s, Roy Lampson worked to create a salmon sanctuary in his 34-acre forest on Key Peninsula. Two salmon streams run through the property, so he did water quality tests and fish passage barrier removals over the years. Now in retirement he's happy to know that the property will forever protect the fish and wildlife that call it home.
