for
Parks, Recreation & Open Space
Kitsap County’s Parks Department has the challenge of balancing the desires of county residents for active and passive recreation along with protection of natural spaces. KEC urges residents to speak up for an appropriate balance of these needs with special attention to protection of the needs of wildlife such as their habitat, corridors for movement, and building on past practices that have been successful.
