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 acknowledge that we reside on the ancestral lands and waters of the Coast Salish people, who have called this place home since time immemorial, and we honor the inherent, aboriginal, and treaty rights that have been passed down from generation to generation.

There is still plenty of spaces left to register for our volunteer event at the Mottola Preserve on Lopez Island next month!

The Mottola Preserve is a partially landscaped parcel with specimen plants and a spacious sloping lawn down to a pond.

Come and join SJPT staff as we head to the Mottola Preserve to cut back some blackberry, rose, and other unwanted plants at this lovely protected property.

Please visit our online event page (sjpt.org/calendar) to register and learn more about this event and others.

Last week was our first volunteer stewardship event of the year and it was a BLAST!

Two groups of folks joined us for a sunny day of gardening for butterflies at the Sundstrom Preserve on San Juan Island, where we seeded some host plants for the Island Marble Butterflies, weeded out invasive plants from their habitat patches, and had a fun time learning about this wonderful and rare native species.

THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone who participated in such a great work party for an important cause.

HAPPY SPRING EQUINOX!

Has it really already been two years since the Spring Street International School joined up with SJPT to help plant some trees in the False Bay watershed?

It has, which means that many of these trees are starting to grow up and provide habitat for all kinds of life around the riparian zone.

Lower False Bay Creek on San Juan Island and other associated wetlands were ditched and cleared over 100 years ago for agriculture to maximize area for crops and grazing. Wetlands like this one are crucial to cleaning surface water before it enters marine waters.

Thank you to those involved in the planting of this important ecological zone!

Check it out next time you're in the area!
