This 5-acre forested high bluff waterfront property on Dabob Bay was donated to The Nature Conservancy by George Prince with the stipulation it be maintained in its natural state, and only limited clearing allowed around a residential site.

The Nature Conservancy donated a conservation easement to Jefferson Land Trust to ensure this protection and then shared proceeds of the sale with the Land Trust.

Owners' Intent

Preserve the land in its relatively open and undeveloped state.

Plants and Wildlife

The plateau consists of second growth forest, primarily Douglas Fir, which transitions into big-leaf maple, western red cedar and red alder as the land slopes to the west. Cougar, Columbia black-tailed deer, and several species of forest birds have been observed on the property.
