Skagit Land Trust protects one of the largest Great Blue Heron nesting sites in the Pacific Northwest at our March's Point Conservation Area.  A recent count of heron nests -- which is conducted in the winter when herons are not present -- revealed over 400 nests in the colony.  Although this conservation area is not open to the public due to its sensitive nature, Skagit Land Trust operates a web camera in the colony which broadcasts live images of the nesting herons in the spring and summer.  Click here for more infromation on this year's nest count and history of Skagit Land Trust's protection of this icnonic bird.

Skagit Land Trust and the San Juan Preservation Trust are pleased to announce that Guemes Mountain has been protected!  Read the press release here and also a summary of the campaign.  The 70-acre parcel, which is now part of a much-larger protected area, has been saved by a multi-year campaign led by the two land trusts and the incredible citizens of Guemes Island.  THANK YOU to everyone who has contributed ideas, time and money to the effort.  Donations are still needed for the long-term stewardship of the property.  To donate and for more information on public access and other issues, click here for complete information on Guemes Mountain.

The Save Guemes Mountain campaign has been awarded a $50,000 gift from the Boeing Charitable Fund to help with stewardship and restoration on Guemes Mountain. We are honored by this partnership and gift that will help to ensure that Guemes Mountain is managed in a sustainable way.
