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.

Protected 337 acres of forests, streams, and wildlife habitat
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
