Protecting our mature coastal canopies

Mature Douglas firs and cedars anchor Puget Sound hillsides, preventing severe shoreline erosion and securing our shared watershed health.

Ecological Urgency

Why mature trees matter

Our coastal neighborhoods rely on established root systems to withstand winter storms. When old-growth canopy is lost, hillsides destabilize.

Runoff filtration

Local ordinances

Deep root networks anchor fragile coastal bluffs, preventing landslides and protecting homes from severe soil runoff.

Mature foliage intercepts heavy rainfall, filtering urban pollutants before they reach the delicate Puget Sound ecosystem.

We advocate for updated municipal codes that protect centenarian trees from rapid, short-sighted urban development.
