Celebrating 50 Years
Our Natural Legacy
Protecting and connecting with the habitat, mountains, water, and natural history of the Salish Sea region.
Our Work
Preserve
We are stewards of the Rhododendron Preserve, a 466-acre ecological jewel with some of the last remaining old growth forest in the Puget Sound lowlands.
Inspire
We partner with other like-minded organizations to increase Salish Sea stewardship, preservation and restoration by offering grant applications.
Educate
We work with local schools and community members to offer environmental educational experiences to encourage good stewardship of the earth.
