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.

You are invited to our Annual Membership Meeting hosted online this year. The evening will feature community awards, the announcement of a few newly completed conservation projects, and a presentation by by the Trust's Community Science Team on the March Point Heronry and Great Blue Herons.

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.
