Welcome to the North Olympic Land Trust

North Olympic Land Trust is a non-profit conservation organization serving the communities of the North Olympic Peninsula. We are working to conserve the ecologically and economically vital lands of the Olympic Peninsula of Washington. 

NOLT Announces New Executive Director

North Olympic Land Trust has hired Port Angeles resident Tom Sanford as its new Executive Director.

A Seattle area native, Sanford was the Executive Director of Olympic Park Institute, the campus of national nonprofit NatureBridge that provides environmental educational programs in Olympic National Park, from 2005 to 2011.

"I am delighted that Tom is joining our North Olympic Land Trust team," said David Morris, President of the NOLT Board of Directors and a former superintendent of Olympic National Park. "Tom has a proven record in the community as a leader with both a long-term vision and a day-to-day understanding of managing a nonprofit organization. I look forward to working with him."  

"To me, this is just a natural fit," said Sanford, who lives in Port Angeles with his wife, Carrie, and their 7-year-old daughter, Abby. "This job is a perfect opportunity to match my passion for land conservation and the wild beauty of the Olympic Peninsula with the skills and experience I've accrued over my career as a nonprofit executive.”  

Sanford  looks forward to expanding the scale of the organization’s land conservation mission, in addition to maintaining its high quality of services to property owners who have signed permanent legal agreements to protect special qualities of their lands.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the North Olympic Land Trust’s 2012 Annual Meeting at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 19 at the Lower Elwha Heritage Training Center on the corner of Peabody and FirstStreet in Port Angeles. The Annual Meeting is an opportunity for supporters, volunteers, easement holders, and interested members of the public to engage with the Land Trust’s staff and Board of Directors in an open discussion regarding priorities and vision for conserving the economically and ecologically vital lands of the Olympic Peninsula.

The annual meeting is also the time when current supporters/members are able to elect recommended directors to vacant positions on the North Olympic Land Trust Board.

The event, which will conclude at about 11 a.m., will feature complimentary breakfast and brunch snacks provided by Good to Go Grocery — including savory and sweet quiches, delicious fruit scones, and fresh organic fruit. Attendance is free, and all interested members of the public may attend.
