Puget Sound is defined by water. It is the lifeblood that flows from mountains through farms, ushers salmon through cities and spills into the Salish Sea.

As water ties these lands together, The Nature Conservancy brings together groups with different interests across the region.

Our Promise for Puget Sound

Mention conserving Puget Sound and people tend to immediately think of that big body of water. But if you live in the Puget Sound region, you know it’s more than water. Puget Sound is a diverse and magical region filled with cities, suburbs, islands, rural and agricultural areas, river valleys, foothills and so much more.

As diverse as the Puget Sound region is, its conservation needs are equally diverse. Two-thirds of our state’s population lives around Puget Sound, creating a strain on our once-abundant natural resources. And more species of animals and plants live in and around the sound than anywhere else in the state.

The demand for food, clean water, land and air has never been higher.  Meanwhile climate change is impacting the way we live β€” from the safety and well-being of communities to our food supply. The challenge for The Nature Conservancy in Washington is meeting the needs of people while taking care of nature.We can’t thrive without nature and nature can’t thrive without us!

Puget Sound is the cultural and economic heart of Washington. It’s where we work, raise families and play. Join us as we celebrate Puget Sound and work to restore and protect the land and water we hold so dear.
