Join us to shape the future of The Divide Community Forest! In April & May of 2025, we will hold a series of six forest tours and community meetings to determine which ecological, social, and economic forest benefits to prioritize as we prepare a long-term, strategic vision for the Divide Community Forest.
Community forests are forestlands managed for the benefit of the local community. Community forests provide the community with secure and reliable access to the ecological, social, and economic benefits produced by forests.
GPC acquired the Divide Community Forest (commonly referred to as The Divide) in December 2024. The property spans 467 acres of vital forestland and serves as a critical link in a 5,000-acre wildlife corridor stretching across the Kitsap Peninsula from the Hood Canal to Puget Sound’s Central Basin.
