Join us out on the land!
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.
Our final volunteer stewardship event of the year was a wonderful outing! 🍃
BIG THANKS go out to our awesome group of volunteers who joined us at the Shooting Star Meadows Preserve on San Juan Island last week to help us do some Garry oak maintenance.
We caged young trees to protect them from deer browsing and repaired previously caged oaks to give them a boost now that they're a bit more grown up.
It was wonderful walking up the hillside at the end of the day and seeing all the great work we accomplished, improving what’s already such a beautiful place.
We’re especially happy to know we have such helpful and enthusiastic support for our work across the islands—not everyone is willing to spend a weekday outside clawing through brush and digging old fencing out of the dirt!
Our efforts are sure to be a welcome respite to the trees and the rest of the preserve as the years go on.
We hope to see you at future events like this next year!

The North Shore Preserve on Orcas Island is open!
The 58-acre property, with its 1,850-foot stretch of shoreline in one of the islands’ highest-priority regions for salmon recovery, provides much-needed public shoreline access for Orcas Island.
The trails and the beach are waiting for you, and now is a beautiful time of year to stop by for a visit—hopefully the first of many!
Please enjoy the celebratory recap video from last month's grand opening and stop by the North Shore Preserve for yourself anytime between dawn and dusk!

Hmmm...no mention of partnership with the Land Bank?
The Islands' Oil Spill Association (IOSA) is coming to Orcas Island next week!
IOSA will be hosting a community forum at the Eastsound Fire Station on Monday, October 28th, from 4:30pm to 6:30pm.
Anyone interested in learning more about the organization, becoming a volunteer, or generally helping to protect the islands from oil spills is welcome to join.
Below is a tentative schedule of events for the evening:
4:30pm: Come enjoy some light refreshments and mingle with IOSA staff, board, and volunteers from Orcas Island.
5:00pm: Challenge your mind with IOSA Trivia and win prizes!
5:30pm: Listen to IOSA Executive Director, Elaina Thompson, speak about what IOSA has been up to these past couple years and where IOSA is headed in the future.
6:00pm: Question the panel of IOSA board, staff, and Tier One volunteers about local response, preparedness, and resilience.
SJPT staff will be in attendance, and we hope you can join us there!
