Speak Up for Heritage Parks!
Posted on May 13, 2025Continue readingThe Parks Department is proposing significant changes in the way it manages Heritage Parks. They now emphasize active recreation and sports at the expense of natural recreation, such as walking, hiking, observing native plants and wildlife, and quiet enjoyment.

Mission
KEC educates and advocates for safe and clean water, air, and soil to support the health of all life. We focus on the Kitsap Peninsula in Washington. We envision an Ecological and Just County – where all people along with wildlife thrive and are treated justly. Humans are part of nature, not owners of it.
Kitsap Environmental Coalition is a community of people dedicated to healthy lands, water, and habitat. We focus on Kitsap County, Washington, and we partner with people in other counties as they encounter conflicts similar to ones we face.
We educate ourselves and others through in-depth research, public presentations, speakers, films, flyers, letters to the editor, mainstream media coverage, digital social media, newsletters, tabling at farmers markets, and peaceful picketing. To date, we have created a powerful force in our campaign for safe and sustainable forestry practices.
