Protecting Nature. Preserving Legacy. Connecting Community.

Nestled in the heart of Kitsap County, the Illahee Forest Preserve is a 600-acre natural sanctuary and designated Heritage Park that protects an ecologically rich and diverse landscape. Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to conserving this irreplaceable land—home to towering conifers, pristine streams, wetlands, and rugged ravines.

We work to safeguard wildlife habitat, maintain sustainable trails, support outdoor education, and ensure public access to a place of peace, discovery, and connection. Whether you're hiking beneath the canopy, volunteering with restoration efforts, or supporting a land acquisition campaign, you're helping protect a legacy that benefits generations to come.

Join us as we steward this remarkable forest—for the wild, for the community, and for the future.
