Looking to the Next 100 Years on Samish Island

For the past 25 years Skagit Land Trust has been working to conserve the land and waters at the entrance to Samish Island. We began with landowners donating conservation easements on forested uplands. We purchased the Samish Flower Farm in 2019 and the Samish Island Entrance Property in 2021. In December, the Trust bought 28 adjacent acres. This spring, the Trust has been working to purchase 45 acres which will bring the conserved lands at the entrance of Samish Island to 170 acres.

Swanrise Events at Barney Lake

Skagit Land Trust has multiple events planned this winter to allow Trust members and the community to view hundreds of Trumpeter Swans as they take off for the day from their overnight resting spot at Barney Lake.

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.
