Protecting the Future Mt. Ben West Preserve

We’re thrilled to announce our latest conservation effort on San Juan Island’s west side: the future Mt. Ben West Preserve. This 30-acre property features rare Garry oak habitat, veteran Douglas firs, and a once-in-a-generation chance to link neighboring nature preserves with public trail opportunities. Help us reach our fundraising goal by March 31, 2026!

Vendovi Island is a 217-acre nature preserve that has been open to the public for nearly 15 years. But all access depends on one critical structure: the North Cove breakwater. After decades of withstanding tides and storms, the breakwater now needs extensive repair. Without it, public access could cease, and so could the sheltered cover habitat that nesting birds rely on.

Defend What You Love.

Our list of conservation and stewardship projects is long, and the costs of acquiring and caring for these lands in perpetuity are considerable. When you partner with us, united behind our shared mission to preserve and protect vital lands, we decide a better future for our island home.
