Welcome to Harbor WildWatch
Harbor WildWatch is a 501 (c)3 non-profit organization of volunteers and staff whose mission is to inspire stewardship of the Puget Sound by providing learning opportunities about the environment to the people of Gig Harbor, Pierce County and the Key Peninsula. 
Our goal is to inform area residents about their local environment and engage their involvement in preserving the wealth of our natural resources.
The organization depends upon support from community efforts, through donations, volunteers, grants, and auctions.
We are excited to introduce our interactive and informative book The Puget Sound's Wildside. This book is full of colorful graphs and illustrations to capture your childs interest along with quick facts and activities. Chapters include our unique habitat, all the life around us and human impact on the environment.
Come Play with us at the Beach!
Learn. Have Fun.

Testimonials
“Students really responded to the naturalist on the beach – with the midshipman – she showed how to put the rock back without damaging the fish. One experience can go a long way to changing behavior”
