Capitol Land Trust is a nonprofit organization based in Tumwater, Washington, founded in 1987 to permanently conserve sensitive habitat through collaborative approaches with developers rather than opposition. Since its founding, it has protected 100 properties totaling roughly 6,800 acres of wildlife habitat, working farms and forests, along with 19 miles of Puget Sound shoreline across Thurston, Mason, Lewis, and Grays Harbor counties. The organization emphasizes providing opportunities for recreation, education, and restoration on conserved lands to engage communities and underscore the environmental benefits these lands provide, such as clean air and water, wildlife habitat, and resilience to floods and fires. Its work targets the South Puget Sound and Chehalis River Basin communities, including property owners, developers, and local stakeholders seeking durable conservation outcomes that balance development with habitat protection. In 2024, Capitol Land Trust partnered with Puget Sound Estuarium to highlight migratory displays and resilience.
