Help ensure their home stays wild forever

The March Point Heronry is small in acreage, but great in importance. At 700+ nests this heronry may be the biggest colony of Great Blue Herons on the west coast of the U.S. The Trust has an immediate opportunity to purchase and conserve 3.5 acres within the core nesting area of the Heronry.

Open House at the Samish Island C.A.

We are excited to welcome the community back together on the land this summer with our first big in-person event for 2021. Mark your calendar for Saturday, July 31st, and join us at the newly expanded Samish Island Conservation Area.

The Entrance to Samish Island Conserved!

Thanks to overwhelming community support, the Trust has purchased 50 more acres at the entrance to Samish Island and will manage this land as part of its Samish Island Conservation Area. The Trust now protects 100 acres at the entrance to Samish Island and over a half a mile of marine shoreline.

Skagit Land Trust acknowledges that we live and work on the traditional lands of the Coast Salish people who have stewarded this land since time immemorial. We extend our gratitude to the Coast Salish people. May we continue to work together as a community to promote the ethical stewardship of these lands.
