Seattle's Cox Conserves Heroes2009: Gary Colley: Permanent protection of a 38-acre farm is Gary’s most recent environmental contribution. Gary’s donated legal work has been a key element in protecting more than 1,500 acres of land since he and other local citizens established North Olympic Land Trust in 1990. The land in Clallam County protects salmon and other wildlife habitat, sustainable commercial timberland, clean water and air, scenic vistas, open space and cultural heritage areas in addition to farmland.

He founded a local grassroots group, spent hundreds of hours documenting every component of Wild Sky - 106,000 acres near Skykomish - and consulted members of Congress and the press on boundary issues. As a result, a new wilderness was created this past April within an hour’s drive of nearly one million people. View Mike's video. Environmental Nonprofit of Choice: Washington Wilderness Coalition
