The San Juan Preservation Trust works with our local communities and people like you to permanently conserve and care for special places throughout the San Juan Islands.
We are so thankful to everyone that came out to out volunteer work party last week at the Peach Preserve!
It was a great success on numerous fronts, from the beach seeming to be rather free of holiday debris before we did a detailed sweep of other washed up trash to the trail trimming we did to make the trail system more open for the rest of summer. All that in addition to grubbing out the few unwanted Scotch broom and thistle plants we encountered.
It was a really worthwhile visit to one of our more unique preserves around the islands and we hope we left it better for the rest of the folks that go there this summer.
We hope you have a peachy time on your next visit!

Our dear friends over at the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank have a lot of incredible offerings going on. They're always putting on wonderful events around the islands, this summer especially.
We invite you to go to their online calendar (sjclandbank.org/events-calendar) to see what they have happening in the near future. There's something for everyone!
Their upcoming tour of the new North Shore Preserve is a great example, which is happening this Saturday, July 13th, afternoon on Orcas Island.
This is yet another project that we're thrilled to be working on with the Land Bank, and this tour is one of the final chances to check out the new preserve before it opens to the public later this year.
Thank you to the Land Bank for always being an incredible partner and an absolutely vital community organization. We're so lucky to have an institution like you around!

We’re thrilled to announce our new Director of Communications and Outreach, Kelvin Baker, who joined our staff last month. He succeeds Craig Canine, who is retiring after eight years at the Preservation Trust
Kelvin comes to us from Michigan and is excited for a big move to the Pacific Northwest.
After graduating from Oberlin College, Kelvin began working with regional arts organizations by applying his interests and skills in communications, marketing, and visual storytelling. Throughout the pandemic, he helped performing-arts organizations such as the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra pivot from in-person performances to video and streaming content that expanded membership and donations dramatically.
In addition to starting his own media company working with a variety of nonprofits and other organizations, he most recently worked in the private sector on creative strategy, marketing campaigns, and video content creation for an automotive industry company.
Kelvin will be out and about more and more, and we hope you can help us give him a warm welcome to the islands whenever you see him!
