We are shoreline property owners and residents of waterfront communities with shared beach access up and down Clallam County’s diverse coastline. We voluntarily follow ten nature-friendly guidelines in caring for our beaches, bluffs, gardens and homes because we know that what we do, and how we do it, makes a big difference on our properties and in Puget Sound. We are proud to be creating and preserving attractive, healthy and safe shorelines for people, fish and wildlife

The Shore Stewards program began in Island County in 2003. Since then, it has grown considerably and now includes more than 600 residents, cities, port districts, businesses and parks in seven Puget Sound counties. In 2006, Shore Stewards received funding from the Puget Sound Action Team and the Northwest Straits Commission to expand to Clallam as well as Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties. This program is sponsored and supported by the Washington State University Extension/Snohomish County and WSU Beach Watchers.

After signing up to be a Shore Steward, you will receive a free reference book, Guide for Shoreline Living, that explains how you can best care for your shoreline, plus monthly informational newsletters and invitations to a wide variety of marine and coastal-oriented workshops.

There is no cost to become a Shore Steward. To learn more about the program, the guidebook, or how to join, feel free to explore this site or contact David Freed, Clallam County Coordinator, at 360-565-2619 or dfreed@wsu.edu.
