Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
To develop and maintain a publicly accessible 15-acre environmental sanctuary in Gig Harbor, Washington. The sanctuary is located within the Harbor Hill residential area, which includes apartments, townhomes, single-family homes, and the Heron's Key senior living community. The site includes two detention and settlement ponds originally constructed to collect, detain, and filter stormwater runoff from the surrounding residential neighborhoods and the Heron's Key campus. The organization's purpose is to restore and steward this area as an educational and ecological resource where community members of all ages can explore local wildlife, learn about habitat restoration, and experience the functions of healthy ecosystems.
-
In 2024, FHHES focused on implementing key phases of the Harbor Hill Environmental Sanctuary development and advancing community access to the site. The organization oversaw continued habitat restoration work, including invasive species removal, native plantings, and stewardship of the two stormwater detention ponds that serve the Heron's Key Senior Living Community and surrounding Harbor Hill neighborhoods. FHHES also completed the ADA-accessible trail system initiated in 2023, including final grading, surfacing, and installation of safety and directional signage. The trail provides stable, barrier-free access around the stormwater ponds and connects to adjacent city-owned parkland and wetlands. These improvements support safe outdoor engagement for residents of all ages, particularly older adults from Heron's Key and families in the Harbor Hill community.

During 2024, the organization received $29,054 in donated professional services that directly supported its administrative, financial, and compliance functions. These contributed services included management and administrative support, financial review and bookkeeping, donor record management, preparation and distribution of year-end tax acknowledgment letters, legal review of organizational documents, and preparation of the Form 990. The donated services strengthened the organization's internal controls, ensured compliance with reporting requirements, and supported accurate recordkeeping and donor stewardship. These contributions allowed FHHES to allocate more of its financial resources toward program development and environmental stewardship activities.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
