What is it that you appreciate most about Whidbey and Camano islands? Perhaps it’s the quiet natural beauty. Or that feeling of refuge from the fast-paced world of the mainland. Maybe it’s the abundance of wildlife. Quite possibly it’s the incredible quality of life we enjoy.

Whatever matters most to you, more of it was permanently protected in 2018 because of your ongoing support. Here’s a summary of what you helped accomplish last year:

Conserving Vital Island Lands

In 2018, 10 properties, totaling 485 acres, were permanently protected throughout Whidbey and Camano islands, including:

• The 127-acre Donald Borgman Nature Preserve on North Whidbey with its mosaic of wildlife habitats, including freshwater wetlands, conifer and deciduous forest, shrubs and open fields.

• A conservation easement protecting 100 acres at the Whidbey Institute on South Whidbey, which safeguards the upper Maxwelton Creek watershed and adds miles of trails open to the public.

• A 34-acre conservation easement on Dr. Sievert Rohwer’s South Whidbey property with numerous ponded wetlands benefiting native waterfowl and amphibians.

• Four more properties at Barnum Point County Park, expanding

the park six-fold to 170 acres, including a mile of beach and a network of trails.

• The 38-acre, Elger Bay Estuary Preserve on Camano Island, made

Mission

We actively involve the community in protecting, restoring, and appreciating the important natural habitats and resource lands that support the diversity of life on our Islands and in the waters of Puget Sound.

2018 in ReviewContinued from page 1

up of tidal wetlands that are critical habitat for fish and wildlife.

• Another 87 acres of working farmland in Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, placed under conservation easements, including farmland abutting Crockett Lake.

• A conservation easement on 31 acres of healthy forest and rhododendrons in Greenbank that have been lovingly tended for half a century by Don and Jan Allen.

Caring for the Lands You’ve ProtectedJust as important as protecting key lands is our responsibility to care for those lands and enhance their conservation values. A few of our key stewardship accomplishments in 2018 were:

• Restoring and enhancing ecological health on 250 acres at 10 Land Trust properties. Local contractors, staff and volunteers removed countless invasive species and reintroduced native plants on prairies, wetlands, and forests.

• Having wonderful volunteers attend more than 35 work parties to remove weeds, plant native trees and shrubs, pick up litter, build trails, cut downed trees from trails, and so much more.

• Witnessing salmon fry at the new Dugualla Bay Preserve, two new

breeding western toad populations, and White Pelicans at our Crockett Lake and Dugualla preserves — all places that are actively being restored.

Volunteers put in more than 3,600 hours of service in 2018, most devoted to restoring and enhancing the land.

Members mingle at the Conservation Partner Celebration at the Roaming Radish in June.

Connecting You to Nature and Community It’s also important for you to celebrate these successes and enjoy what you’ve helped to protect. In 2018, to make that happen, we:

• Opened a new wheelchair accessible loop trail and parking lot at Trillium Community Forest in partnership with Island County. It’s a great place to take kids or to go on an easy walk.

• Completed improvements at Glendale Beach on South Whidbey that includes a landscaped parking lot and easy access to the beach.

• Made progress on developing the Walking Ebey’s Trail system on Central Whidbey and the Fakkema Farm trail near Oak Harbor.

• Held our annual Conservation Partner Celebration, summer picnic and popular holiday open house, allowing you to commune with old friends and meet new ones.

These phenomenal successes that preserve vital open spaces on our islands happen because of you. Places where fish and wildlife can survive and thrive and future generations will enjoy. Places that provide clean water, clean air, local food, and economic viability. Places that enhance our love for Whidbey and Camano islands.

THANK YOU!

Jan and Don Allen, pictured here with Land Trust donor relations manager Danielle Bishop, protected their forested property in Greenbank in 2018.

In 2018, the Land Trust offered 25 tours to connect people to the land. Above, stewardship specialist Kyle Ostermick-Durkee talks to a group at Trillium Community Forest.

Fun Fact


"I grew up in a place where kids could play in the woods all day. It fostered a connection to and love of nature. I’ve never forgotten that feeling. Children today need a chance and a place to make a connection to nature. Thank you for all you do to preserve our beautiful islands, not only for today, but for generations to come."

The Land Trust’s new website, seen through different devices, offers useful tools to learn about island conservation.

New Website – Interactive Map, Natural Beauty, and More!We’re thrilled to have a new and improved website! Check it out at www.wclt.org. It has a great new look and lots of exciting new features. We’ll be adding more throughout 2019 to make it even better.

The centerpiece is the upgraded interactive map with easy-to-use search tools. Discover where on Land Trust properties, you can hike, take your dog on a leash, birdwatch, launch your kayak,

and more. Directions and, often, hiking maps are provided. Or search for information about properties we’ve protected throughout Island County.

The redesigned website is easier to navigate and is much more visually appealing. You’ll also find it easier to get updates on our current and past conservation work, volunteer opportunities, ways to donate, and lots more!

"I love what you are doing to preserve the forests, beaches, and open lands on Whidbey and Camano. These beautiful islands are lucky to have you making sure they won’t be overly developed so they can be enjoyed now and into the future."

– Gayle Janzen

More Great Conservation Coming in 2019!You Make It All PossibleHold on for another exciting conservation success ride in 2019. Here’s a sneak preview of what we’re working on for you:

• Protecting coastal lands and beaches on Camano and South Whidbey

• Protecting another 100 acres of native forest in Central Whidbey

• Conserving important working family farms

• Working with eight land owners on valuable donated conservation easements

• Beginning trail construction in Central and North Whidbey

• Restoring wetlands, prairies, and forest to improve fish and wildlife habitat

• Developing pocket trail maps and new strategic plan
