What BCC Stands For:

• We champion the health and safety of people, water, and habitats through education, advocacy, and action.

• We protect Bainbridge Island’s natural ecosystems, rural and small-town character, and the well-being of future generations.

• We partner with individuals and organizations on Bainbridge Island and in Kitsap County who share our mission.

• We advocate for sustainable development that respects ecological limits and recognizes the connection between environmental health, land use, and community well-being.

• We support neighborhoods facing land use proposals that threaten the Island’s character, ecology, and climate resilience.

• We educate the community on key issues like:

  • Groundwater sustainability

  • Stream and watershed health

  • Winslow Subarea and Comprehensive Plan changes

  • Climate policy and land use regulations

• We formed in 2023 in response to a proposal to up-zone parcels in a conservation area—mobilizing residents to protect their neighborhood.
