Are you passionate about a thriving Puyallup Watershed, protected and stewarded for
the land, people & place, and water?

The Puyallup Watershed Conservation Land Trust (PWCLT) is at a pivotal moment. We are a startup non-profit with a massive mission: to protect the vital connection between the glaciers of Mount Rainier and the shores of Puget Sound.

We’ve moved beyond the planning phase and are now focused on building the engine that will drive conservation in our region for decades. To do so, we need builders, connectors, and strategists to join our Board of Directors.

Our Mission: The Three Pillars

As a board member, your leadership will support our core focus areas:

• Land: Identifying and securing smaller, high-impact conservation projects that protect our natural heritage.
• People & Place: Connecting our community to the land through stewardship and shared experiences.
• Water: Safeguarding the quality and flow of the watershed for fish, wildlife, and people.

Who We Need Now

Because we are in a high-growth startup phase, we are seeking “doers” who can help us build awareness and drive revenue. We are specifically seeking individuals with expertise in:

• Fundraising & Development: Helping us secure the initial capital to launch our first projects.
• Finance & Accounting: Setting up the robust financial systems a growing land trust requires.
• Legal: Navigating the complexities of non-profit governance and land protection.
• Marketing, PR & Social Media: Helping us tell our story and put PWCLT on the map.
• Indigenous Partnership & Engagement: Ensuring our work is done in deep, respectful collaboration with the Coast Salish people.
• Community Outreach: Building a grassroots network of supporters and volunteers.

The Opportunity: Build a Legacy

This isn’t a “sit-and-listen” board. You will help us choose our first projects, identify our first donors, and set the organization’s culture. If you want to look back in twenty years and say, “I was there when we started that,” this is the role for you.
