    Project Description    
Great Peninsula Conservancy and Kitsap County will use this grant to acquire approximately 287 acres in North Kitsap County. Located from the head of Miller Bay to the lower reaches of Grovers Creek, 1.1 miles upstream, the project will protect forested uplands, main-stem and tributary creek reaches, side channel refugia, a diverse riparian wetland complex, and a salt water bay. The wetland complex contributes to the habitat quality of the bay through sediment storage, non-point pollution filtration, flood attenuation, and slow release of water to maintain healthy spawning and rearing refugia habitat for ESA listed winter steelhead, coho, fall/winter chum, and cutthroat. The property also includes aquatic and terrestrial linked habitat for amphibians and nesting and foraging area for neo-tropical migratory birds. The project would allow Kitsap County to hold a property interest (e.g. easement or right-of-way deed) for future development and public use of a non-motorized trail and/or shared-use pathway providing a link to a regional trail system connecting Kingston to the Hood Canal Bridge near Port Gamble. Any trail and/or pathway will be aligned in the future to make the shortest and least environmentally disruptive connection across the project site, linking isolated upland areas and minimizing impacts to wetlands and wildlife, as further described in the Special Conditions to this Agreement.
