25 years of PreservationBeach, Bog, Farm, Forest,& Watershed

2014 was a good year for the plants, animals, and people of Vashon-Maury Island with the 142 acres we added to island parks and preserves. What a great lead-up to our 25th year as a Land Trust, which we are celebrating this year!

With your steadfast support, we have raised $71 million to create and expand 22 preserves comprised of 1,845 acres. We have come a long way from the goal we started with, which was to “Save Whispering Firs Bog”. In 25 years we have evolved into a group that also builds trails and tackles large-scale habitat restoration.

We are proud to announce the launch of our first farm conservation project with a contract to purchase the historic Matsuda Farm, which we hope will bring you a greener, cleaner, healthier Vashon-Maury Island in the years to come.

Thank you for supporting island conservation. We love the island and have noticed that you do, too!

Sincerely,Zoe Rothchild, Board President 2014
