FOMB partnered with Great Peninsula Conservancy (GPC) in 2019 to raise the final $150,000.00 needed to purchase 13 acres of rare, undeveloped land in the tidewater area of Grover’s Creek, encompassing pristine shoreline and upland forest on north Miller Bay.  FOMB worked on forest restoration for this land, clearing invasive species and planting native hemlock and cedar trees. With its mature, native trees and lush overhanging plants, this property provides critical protection and habitat for juvenile salmon feeding on insects and plankton. A variety of NW Bird  species nest in the forest’s mossy undergrowth and forage along the water. At low tide the estuary waters recede, revealing expansive mudflats and a meandering stream that runs to the mouth of Grover’s Creek. It is a beautiful pocket of Preserved land, we call Miller Bay Preserve.
