Community Land Trust: Stories from the Land
Our corner of the world is won-
drous. isn't it?
I just love the Olympic Peninsula.
There's no other place like it.
One of the thinge I appreciate
most is how the land we live on is
such a deep and integral part of our
daily lives. It's been that way forever.
Frcm the Native tribes who have been
here for millennia. to the explorers
and homesteaders who came later,
people who called this place home
based their lives on the landscape
around them. This heritage continues
today: mountains, forests, farms, sea
and shore still bring us here and keep
us here, defining our way oflife and
the character of our communities.
This connection is obvlous in
so many ways. People here come
together to enjoy and appreciate the
land, to advocate for it, to heal it and
to work it. Nowhere else have I ever
seen the level of passion I see here
every day. To borrow a sentiment
from Wendell Berry, what we stand
for ie the land we stand on. In the
process, we create the stories of our
Richard Tircker
COMMUNITY
LAND TRUST
identity as a place, as a community
and as people.
I'm talking about stories like
the return of ealmon to Chimacum
Creek. It's a grand tale to hear how
the summer chum run there made
a comeback from actual extinction.
thanks to big-hearted and lhr-sighted
people who came together and
worked for decades to reintroduce
salmon to this creeii, and strengthen
salmon runs in streams all over
the Peninsula. Or I think about the
incredible history of Tamanowas
Rock- Older than both the Cascade
and the Olympic Mountain ranges,
this iconic place has long been sacred
to local tribes - the stories here go
way back.
When a developer bought the land
where Tamanowas Rock rests, plan.
ning to dynamite it and build houses
there, the community rallied to save
this sacred site. Now the Rock is
back in the hands of the Jamestown
S'Klallam Tribe.
These stories fascinate me. They
show me something important about
who we are. where we came from. and
where we're going. They are narra-
tives of collaboration, community
and partnership. They are not just
accounts of the landscape, but sagas
of survival that lead to our future.
Just in the last 30 years, we have
seen revitalization of farmland and
a new generation of young farm-
ers and entrepreneurs growing an
incredibly strong local food economy.
We've seen the developrnent of trail
systenrs that connect our communi.
ties and increase our quality of life.
We are seeing a renewed interest in
artisan crafts using local products,
from local wood. to baskets, essential
oils and more. When I think about
the trends we've witnessed in rerent
decades, I am inspired and hopeful
for what is yet to come, for our com-
munity's resilience, and for the land
that sustains us. I look forward to
bringing you stories from the land in
this column over the months to come.
