Gathering on the Lands We Love - Barney Lake

On October 1st, we’ll celebrate the past 30 years of success we’ve had as a community in saving natural places here in Skagit. We’ll raise a glass to the protection of 10,000 acres of lands we love. We'll also raise support for the crucial conservation work ahead, including at Barney Lake.

Gary Miles and his wife, Betty first met with Skagit Land Trust in 1999 to discuss leaving their 10-acre forested property on Samish Island to the Trust. Their dream was that the house would come down and the land would be a home for wildlife, forever.

The lands conserved and protected by Skagit Land Trust have been inhabited and stewarded by numerous tribes and Indigenous peoples since time immemorial. We recognize and respect the inherent, indigenous, and treaty rights of the Coast Salish People who have deep and abiding connections to these places. We seek to partner with local tribes as we conserve and care for these lands and waters.
