San Juan Preservation Trust

Mission

Our mission is to:
• CONSERVE the natural beauty, vital ecosystems, and unique character of the San Juan Islands for future generations;
• CARE for the lands and waters under our protection, with our partners;
• CONNECT people to nature, to each other, and to the Preservation Trust.

Protecting wild island places is essential to our physical and emotional well-being now and into the future. Check out the Media Gallery, below, for a few brief videos which each deliver a minute of island splendor.
