Growing New Opportunities for Students
After not visiting the preserve for almost 5 year I finally visited, and I became overwhelmed with joy going down to Hidden Valley – it is simply amazing and stunning. There was so much to see: A cleared and replanted homestead area, a new education pavilion, and an incredible new bridge!
Planting for Healthy Landscapes, Waterways
Over the past year, we have done a lot of work at the Preserve, which is now nearly 500 acres in size. This year we’ll continue our work of new planting and restoration.
Clearing the Path for Growth
The demolition work on some property that the Foundation acquired on Seabeck Highway Northwest was completed in December
Connection to Critical Wildlife Corridor
The Preserve borders the Central Kitsap Greenway, an important wildlife corridor, making clear the importance of our preservation work.
Earth Day Ideas 2023
