Name: Amanda Azous
Gann Society members since: 2016
Place of residence: Cady Mountain (San Juan Island)
Favorite island place: "By boat, Patos Island. On land, anywhere on the west side of San Juan Island. How lucky we are to see whales from shore!"
Quote: “I care about SJPT's work because land conservation has been my passion since, as an 11-year-old girl, I realized that the earth's resources are finite and need protecting for the benefit of future generations. I am grateful to live in a place so committed to land conservation, and I am proud to be a long-time member of the Preservation Trust and the Gann Society." READ AMANDA'S STORY
