Paddle Kitsap
Statement of Purpose
Paddle Kitsap was created to bring people together with the common goal of saving recreational areas and access to those areas in North Kitsap. With an ever expanding demand on open areas in North Kitsap most open land is going to the "Highest and Best economic use". Which commonly means more development by humans for humans. In a partnership with the largest land owner in North Kitsap the Olympic Property Group who own approximately 8000 acres there is a hope that this land can be developed for people, wildlife, and recreation.
Paddle Kitsap is
dedicated to transforming individuals and communities through
Paddling. Paddle Kitsap is part of the now forming North Kitsap
Trails Association. Paddle Kitsap is providing a portion of the
proceeds from this Paddle to the North Kitsap Trails Association for
the purpose of preserving and protecting water access in
