Vendovi is open for the season!

On May 1 at 10 am, we unlocked the gate at the Vendovi dock to welcome visitors for the season. Since the final 2012 visitors departed last fall, Vendovi has undergone some meadow restoration. It has been the subject of a land mammal survey (two is the total inventory so far!) and a tidelands survey (30 algae species counted), and it has received new resident caretakers. Heather and Shawn.

Heather Bansmer and Shawn Breeding have lived in Bellingham for the past sixteen years, spending their down time exploring the waters from the San Juans Islands south to Mexico on board their 32-foot sailboat, Om Shanti. The two also operate a small publishing company and are authors of several guidebooks for boaters.

When the island opened for visitors on May 1, Vendovi held in store plentiful wildflowers (camas, paintbrush, spring gold and chocolate lilies); contemplative silence on forest trails; and beaches swept pristine-clean with the tides. It’s a dreamy place, so it’s natural it has recently been the subject of tweets, Facebook posts and “pins”, as well as tales extolling its beauty via old-fashioned word-of-mouth. The popularity of Vendovi as a boating, kayaking and water taxi destination is growing by leaps and bounds, and we anticipate that the island will host many guests this summer. The first weekend in May, we logged 96 visitors!

We’re thinking, with some hesitation, this popularity is a good thing…isn’t it? After all, maintaining the island for educational, scientific and leisure purposes is one part of our goal, balanced with protecting the island and its natural assets in perpetuity. Determining how we achieve both aspects of this goal is a complex process we will undertake shortly.

How should we care for the island year-round, and what level of staffing does that take? What physical infrastructure is needed? Should commercial boat operators be given free license to bring clients to the island? What size groups should be accommodated? What additional way-finding signage is needed? Can the island be reserved for special events? These questions, and more, have arisen as we contemplate the future of Vendovi Island in the care of the Preservation Trust. A Vendovi “visioning” committee is being convened to help shape the long-term stewardship plan for the island.

But before we get too deep in long-term planning, we have to know that we can finish paying for Vendovi.

Here’s the current status of our fundraising campaign: we have only $130,000 left to raise towards our $1 million challenge grant, but we must have it all in hand by October 1. You can help. If you have already supported the “Campaign to Save Vendovi Island” (thank you!), please tell others about it. And if you haven’t supported the campaign, please consider doing so.

In fact, you may want to do so next Wednesday. On May 15, from midnight to midnight (Pacific Time), The Seattle Foundation will host its third annual GiveBIG. To sweeten the pot, our wonderful supporters and Vendovi champions Gary and Grace Christophersen have offered a challenge – they will match every gift made through GiveBIG that is earmarked for Vendovi, up to $2,500. Additionally, all gifts made through GiveBIG will be “stretched” with dollars raised by The Seattle Foundation. To direct your GiveBIG gift to the Vendovi challenge, be sure to write “Vendovi” in the Comments field.

It’s Official!

Today President Obama signed a proclamation designating approximately 970 acres of federally owned land as the San Juan Islands National Monument. These lands will be managed by the Bureau of Land Management for conservation and recreation purposes.

You may link to the full text of text of the San Juan Islands Proclamation  signed into effect by President Obama.

***

Friday, March 22, 2013

The White House announced last night that President Obama intends to create a new San Juan Islands National Monument on federal lands currently owned by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) throughout the San Juan Islands. This announcement will be made on Monday of next week.

We couldn’t be more pleased.

This designation comes in response to a community grassroots effort that began almost three years ago, and will apply to approximately 1,000 acres that are located throughout our archipelago. These lands, which include over 60 uninhabited islands, headlands and lighthouse properties, provide exceptional wildlife habitat and some of the most popular recreation destinations in the region. Cattle Point (San Juan Island), Iceberg Point and Watmough Bight (Lopez Island), Turn Point (Stuart Island), Carter Point (the southern tip of Lummi Island) and Patos Island are just a few of many natural treasures that would be permanently protected by this presidential proclamation.

The Preservation Trust’s goal was to ensure the highest level of protection for these important federal properties while providing a strong local voice in their management. This proclamation will fully satisfy our objectives, and we are pleased to announce our enthusiastic support for this outcome. The San Juan Islands National Monument will only includes land that is already under federal ownership – it will not apply to any private land in the islands, nor does it authorize any additional land acquisitions. The BLM will continue to manage these lands under their new National Monument status.

On behalf of these islands that we all love, THANK YOU to the many volunteers, organizations, local businesses and elected officials who demonstrated the power of community. It has been an honor for the San Juan Preservation Trust to play a part in this historic effort.

For more information about the pending San Juan Islands National Monument, visit www.SanJuanIslandsNM.org.

Young Orcas Island native Will Fisher has set his sights on a career as a professional photographer and videographer, so his 2012 internship with the San Juan Preservation Trust was a perfect fit. Fisher, 19, graduated last spring from the photography program at the Hallmark Institute of Photography in Turners Falls, Massachusetts. He has spent the past several months roaming the San Juan Islands with his camera, capturing the natural beauty of the Preservation Trust’s conserved lands. His internship took him to several outer islands and remote properties, but his final assignment brought him back home to Orcas to promote the protection of a place that is near to his heart: Turtleback Mountain.

In late 2012, the Preservation Trust launched an effort to purchase a 111-acre property that separates the Turtleback Mountain Preserve from the Trust’s lesser-known Turtlehead Preserve and create a new public trail that connects these three properties. Until now, the Turtlehead Preserve – with its spectacular wildflowers, native grasslands, windswept forests and 360 views of surrounding islands – has been surrounded by private land and inaccessible to the public.  With almost $1.2 million of this $1.3 million project already raised, the Preservation Trust, with Will’s help, hopes its “Campaign to Complete Turtleback Mountain” can identify the remaining $105,000 needed to complete this effort.

To provide a glimpse of what few have ever seen, Fisher made several trips up Turtlehead over a four month period, bushwhacking his way across the planned trail route.  “I’ve been exploring Turtlehead since I was a kid, so this was a great opportunity to share this amazing place with others,” said Will. “I hope that my video will inspire other islanders to help the Preservation Trust make this place accessible for everyone. We must help preserve the single most beautiful living thing – Nature — if not for ourselves, then for the generations to come. If we don’t, it will simply vanish.”

The result is a fast-paced, 2-minute video that transports viewers from the Turtleback Mountain Preserve to Turtlehead. Join Will on his virtual tour. You may also see several of Will’s still photos of Turtleback Mountain and Turtlehead Preserve at www.willafisher.com.

Introducing our 2013 Volunteer of the Year:  PETER WILLING

Our 2013 Volunteer of the Year certainly lives up to his last name. While fairly new to the San Juan Preservation Trust volunteer team, Peter has been more than willing to pitch in and help out on the magical Vendovi Island Preserve. Peter, in the last two years, has logged many hours on the Preserve, doing everything from untangling the mystery of the archaic electrical and water systems to hauling off garbage, pulling ivy, assisting with a variety of other maintenance tasks and even fundraising for the Campaign to Save Vendovi Island.

Peter has lived in Bellingham since 1983, with his wife Jan and their dogs, and after learning of SJPT’s purchase of Vendovi Island became an ambassador for its long-term protection. One of his favorite moments on the island – not surprisingly, having nothing whatsoever to do with water or electrical systems – was watching the caretaker’s 10-year old son quietly enjoying the setting sun over distant islands. “He is just a shade younger than I was when I first showed up in the San Juans, and he took me back to those times,” Peter remarked. “It is pleasant to consider the memories that he will one day hold.”

We thank Peter for his dedication to the island, and for introducing its charms to many in his community. His efforts will certainly help many other visitors create their own memories, and we are glad he is “willing” to help.

Past Volunteers of the Year…

Vendovi Island sure has some wonderful neighbors…

Sinclair Island’s Ferdi Businger

Directly to the west of Vendovi Island is Sinclair Island, boasting one full-time resident and the “village” of Urban, which (as best we can tell!) is really nothing more than a beat-up county mail dock. Southeast of Vendovi is Samish Island, with approximately 500 homes occupied by full-time, weekend and summer residents. On both of these islands are individuals with special ties to Vendovi. Since the Preservation Trust’s acquisition of Vendovi, Ferdi Businger, one of two year-round residents of Sinclair, has kept a close eye on the island for us, frequently motoring over in his open aluminum skiff to photograph its prolific flower displays, wildlife and breath-taking views. In the meantime, Samish Islander Steve Hopley, the great-great grandson of Vendovi’s original homesteaders, expressed great excitement at the prospect of being able to once again visit this island that is so important to his family’s history but - thanks to generations of fiercely-protective private owners – had been inaccessible since his childhood.

An exhausted Steve Hopley napping in his mother’s arms on the way home from a visit to Vendovi Island.

When Ferdi and Steve learned about our Campaign to Save Vendovi Island, they both became intent on enlisting the help of others in their respective island communities to save this special place. To help them inspire their neighbors, two generous local families stepped up with two $25,000 challenge gifts – one each for Sinclair and Samish – to leverage giving from both communities. As a result of these efforts, the people of these two small islands have generated a stunning $115,000 for the Vendovi campaign. Even better, should the Preservation Trust succeed in raising the final $400,000 it needs in 2013 to fulfill its $1 million challenge grant, both the Sinclair and Samish Island gifts will be doubled once again (from $115,000 to $230,000)! Perhaps even more importantly, Vendovi Island has become reacquainted with its neighboring islands, now forever watchful and protective of their uninhabited, wilder sibling.

Thank you, Sinclair!  Thank you, Samish!

Now that we have two years under our belt as Vendovi’s owner and steward, we thought it would be a good time to give you a brief update about the island and our efforts to protect it.

Vendovi’s Surprises
We continue to discover the natural wonders of Vendovi. Our bird-watching visitors have counted 89 avian species to-date, including the red-necked phalarope, mountain bluebird and Western kingbird. The current botanist tally is at least 239 plant species. The spring wildflower season brings blankets of white fawn lilies, prolific fields of paintbrush, spring gold, chocolate lilies, camas, death camas and broad-leafed stonecrop. A large area of old growth trees was discovered, as was an octopus den. In early 2013, the Preservation Trust will work with the University of Washington’s Burke Museum to conduct a small mammal inventory, and faculty and students at the Northwest Indian College in Bellingham will be surveying the island’s near-shore habitat, so we anticipate a few surprises from those endeavors. With each new discovery, we are reminded that Vendovi Island is truly a gem worth protecting.

Stewardship and Restoration
Along with the natural discoveries have come lessons on what is needed to properly care for Vendovi Island. In several areas where the wildflowers are prolific, for example, encroaching Douglas firs threaten these rare grasslands. With the assistance of the Washington Conservation Corps (WCC), we have begun restoration work on some of these spectacular meadows by thinning the encroaching firs. WCC crew members have also set to work pulling English ivy and vinca, which are among the few invasive plants that have been found on the island.

People who visit Vendovi fall in love with it. Among those who experience it, this remote little island inspires an impassioned commitment to help ensure that it is protected and cared for. In nearby communities, residents are actively advocating (and fundraising!) for the island’s permanent protection. Several local Audubon chapters are carefully counting and monitoring avian species, and the Washington Kayak Club is providing volunteer land stewards for the island. Our partners at other local land conservation groups have offered to help us with the long-term care of the island, and gifts have been received from several conservation, civic and recreation groups.

Public Access
The news that Vendovi Island now welcomes seasonal visitors is spreading. In the short time it has been open for public access, Vendovi has become a very popular summer boating destination, with more than 1,100 visits made during the spring and summer months each year. According to entries in the island’s guest register, most visits were made via motorized boat, with a handful of travelers using wind and human power. Whatcom County yielded the largest number of visitors, but Anacortes, greater Skagit County and neighboring islands are also well represented in the visitor log.

The island, and our campaign to permanently protect it, has been featured by John D’Onofrio in the winter issue of Adventure NW Magazine. It will also be included in Craig Romano’s upcoming book, Hiking in the San Juan and Gulf Islands. We worked with both writers to emphasize our objective to balance protection of the island’s natural assets with light-impact public access.

Through the Vendovi project, we have formed a productive partnership with the Washington Trails Association (WTA). In the spring of 2012, we hosted volunteer WTA crews on Vendovi to reroute unsafe hiking trails and build new trails. Several of these volunteers have fallen under the island’s spell and have become active advocates for the Vendovi campaign.The new trails are impressive. Dangerous and eroding trails were replaced with sustainable paths that lead visitors to the most popular locations on the island. The public now enjoys easy access to Vendovi’s most beautiful sandy beaches, as well as to two spectacular bench outlooks that are surrounded by the island’s legendary wildflower meadows.

In September, a visitor who uses an ambulatory scooter was able to explore many parts of the island on enhanced trails and, to our great delight, make her way to one of the island’s beaches using our new trail. While most of Vendovi remains a wild reminder of what the San Juan Islands used to be, we are very pleased that these new trails can provide a glimpse of the island’s treasures to members of our disabled population.

A handsome, multi-panel kiosk now greets visitors as they arrive on island. This “welcome” kiosk provides guidelines for visitation, a cultural history of Vendovi Island, information about plant and animal life observed on the island, and a fundraising appeal. Modest direction signs were also produced and placed at a number of trail junctions.

The Campaign to Save Vendovi
The acquisition of Vendovi Island was made possible through the generosity of an individual benefactor who provided a $3.0 million gift and a $3.4 million bridge loan. The Preservation Trust’s ability to retain ownership of Vendovi hinges upon our ability to retire this debt. If we are not able to do so, we will face the undesirable possibility of having to resell the island after placing a restrictive conservation easement on it.

We are happy to report that we have been able to repay $1.3 million of the loan as a result of successful fundraising over the past 18 months. Much of our success has been attributable to the effectiveness of a $1 million challenge grant we received soon after purchasing the island. The first goal of the challenge was completed in October 2011 when we raised $250,000, which was subsequently matched by the challenge donor. Last year we worked towards and achieved the second goal of the campaign, $350,000, thanks to several donors, including a wonderful San Juan Island couple who stepped forward with an extraordinary gift of $250,000.

The Final Push
We are now working to raise $400,000 by October 2013, the third and final goal of the $1 million challenge grant. So far we have identified approximately $239,000, which includes gifts in hand and pledges. Almost half of this amount was leveraged by the people of Samish Island and Sinclair Island. Leaders in these two small island communities challenged residents to participate; the resulting contributions were matched by two very generous donors, resulting in more than $110,000 to the campaign!With our October 2013 goal in our sights, we will be working to engage donors throughout Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan counties. As we have already reached out to the majority of our most loyal Preservation Trust donors, we are anticipating this to be a very challenging year.

If we satisfy the terms of the $1 million challenge by October, 80% of the acquisition funds will have been raised and the Preservation Trust’s goal to permanently own and protect Vendovi Island will be secure. We can then begin developing a long-term stewardship vision for the island that includes management plans, public access facilities and sustainable funding sources needed to care for the island. A final fundraising phase will begin in 2014 that will tap into new funding sources (including grants) to retire the $1.3 million outstanding loan balance and implement our long-term stewardship vision for the island.

With great appreciation to the more than 200 generous souls who have contributed to the Campaign to Save Vendovi Island, we continue to work to secure the island’s future for the benefit of current and future generations. Please help us spread the news that The Campaign to Save Vendovi continues to move forward, and please encourage your friends and neighbors to support it!

January 14, 2013

The “fiscal cliff” legislation that was enacted on New Year’s Day delivered some good news for taxpayers age 70 ½ or older. The American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 provides these taxpayers the opportunity to take advantage of the old “IRA Charitable Rollover” which has now been extended through 2012 and 2013. This provision allows a donor to make a tax-free distribution from a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA) or Roth IRA provided that money is transferred to a charitable organization.

And more good news: if you wish to transfer a December 2012 withdrawal to a charity, you may still do so, but you must act quickly and ensure the contribution is made by January 31, 2013.

And there is more: if you were one of many who made a charitable gift from their IRA last year in the hopes that Congress would extend the IRA charitable rollover, you are in luck! Your tax benefit is retroactive to January 1, 2012.

Making a charitable contribution from an IRA rather than other assets may be especially appropriate if you:

•             are required to take distributions but do not need them for living expenses,
•             do not itemize deductions,
•             may lose some of your itemized deductions because of your income level, or
•             would not be able to deduct all of your charitable contributions because of deduction limitations.

On this last note, it is important to remember that the “fiscal cliff” legislation includes higher thresholds for limitations on itemized deductions. They are now set at over $250,000 for individuals (or $300,000, for couples). For these folks, the IRA Charitable Rollover may be even more important now than in the past.

A few limitations apply to this giving option:

•             If a donor wishes to take advantage of the charitable rollover retroactively for 2012, they must do so by January 31, 2013.
•             The maximum total amount a donor may transfer per year is $100,000.
•             IRA charitable rollover gifts must be made to a public charity (not a private foundation), and they cannot be to a supporting organization or a donor advised fund.
•             They must be for an outright gift and not used to fund a gift annuity or charitable remainder trust.
•             The donor may not take an additional tax deduction on their income tax because they have already received a tax benefit by avoiding the tax on the IRA distribution.

Without a charitable rollover provision, using IRA funds for a charitable contribution would require withdrawing money from your IRA and then contributing it. The amount withdrawn would be taxable, and the deduction for the contribution may or may not offset the tax.

We have provided a sample instruction letter to your plan administrator for making an IRA charitable gift transfer.

An island legend has passed. Dodie Post Gann, a lifelong adventurer, accomplished pilot, inductee in the U.S. Ski Team Hall of Fame, land conservation leader and the San Juan Preservation Trust’s earliest benefactor, died peacefully at home on Christmas Eve following a truly remarkable life. Born on September 10, 1922, Dodie and her husband, the renowned novelist Ernest Gann, purchased their 800-acre Red Mill Farm on San Juan Valley in the 1960’s. In a series of transactions beginning in 1980 and ending in mid-2012, Dodie and Ernie ensured that their farm would remain protected in perpetuity by the San Juan Preservation Trust. As Dodie recounts in a video produced by the Preservation Trust a few years before her death, land conservation became personal as she settled into her new island home. “If you have something like this, you don’t want to lose it” she would say. “It’s the natural thing to want to save it forever.”

Dodie Gann was a friend and inspiration to so many of us that call the San Juan Islands our home, and her unassuming manner and soaring spirit are inextricably woven into the San Juan Preservation Trust’s organizational identity. It is both humbling and fitting to know that Dodie’s longtime home – her beloved Red Mill Farm – will soon become the permanent office for the San Juan Preservation Trust.  From her little farmhouse that looks down over San Juan Valley, we shall continue the work that she began.

Per Dodie’s wishes, there will be no public memorial service.
