Great Peninsula Conservancy

Great Peninsula Conservancy is an accredited nonprofit land trust dedicated to protecting and stewarding forests, streams, shorelines, and farms while connecting people with nature across West Puget Sound.

Every Gift Helps Nature Thrive

Imagine a student naming their first salmon fry and releasing it into Clear Creek, or a volunteer planting young trees along the Hood Canal shoreline at Gass Preserve this February, helping restore critical habitat for salmon and wildlife. These moments happen because of people like you.

On this community-focused giving day, your gift can double its impact thanks to a $35,000 match from long-time GPC supporters, Gary & Jan.

In 2025, together we:

• Protected 337 acres of forests, streams, and wildlife habitat

• Contributed 2,400+ volunteer hours stewarding conserved lands

• Connected nearly 3,000 young people to nature through Salmon in the Classroom, Land Labs field trips, and after-school Osprey Clubs

• Advanced major conservation projects including the Divide Community Forest, Petersen Farm, and Hood Canal shoreline

• Led innovative stewardship through the Listen Up Collaborative, recognized by The New York Times for using bird monitoring to guide forest restoration
