jane fox brings freshperspectiveIf you can’t be in the San Juan Islandsyourself, the next best thing is to visitthrough stunning photography that conveysthe magic of the islands. Recognizing theimportance of great photography to illus-trate the Preservation Trust’s conservationwork, this summer two anonymous donorsallowed us to hire Jane K. Fox, a recentMaster’s graduate in Photojournalism andMultimedia from Boston University. Hercharge: to capture images of the peopleand places that help tell the story of theTrust. From the gigantic TurtlebackMountain Preserve on Orcas to tiny JackIsland, Jane has produced a large library ofphotos of our preserves, conservation ease-ments, and members so that we can tellour story well into the future.

To see more of Jane’s work and her remark-able ability to capture the personal motiva-tions behind private land conservation, weencourage you to visit the home page ofour web site (www.sjpt.org) where you canview videos of local legends of land con-servation Dodie Gann (San Juan Island)and Fred Ellis, Sr. (Shaw Island).

When the San Juan Preservation Trust launched a campaign with the Skagit LandTrust in to save the -acre summit of Guemes Mountain, no one knew thatthe economy would collapse around us in the fall of . But thanks to a tremen-dous community effort that included more than donations from individuals,families, foundations, and businesses, we have successfully purchased and foreverpreserved this amazing summit. In addition to monetary donations, an incredibleoutpouring of volunteer effort made it possible.

There were many ups and downs to this campaign, but the successful negotiationof a price reduction in early and the generosity and determination of islandersto preserve a favorite hiking spot allowed us to prevail.

We also had the benefit of a Steering Committee on Guemes Island that was simplyextraordinary. Tim Seifert, our executive director, said, “The Co-Chairs – Paul Beaudet,Karen Everett, Joost Businger and Marianne Kooiman – each did the work of ten people.They deserve an enormous amount of credit for the success of this campaign.” Thankyou Preservation Trust members!

Skagit Land Trust will now own and manage Guemes Mountain while the San JuanPreservation Trust holds a conservation easement on it (a typical arrangementfor exceptional properties such as this). If you would like to know more aboutthe campaign, see a list of donors, learn about access on the mountain, or help withthe ongoing stewardship needs, please see the official campaign websiteat www.saveguemesmountain.org.

has concluded and we arethrilled to report that a larger percentage of bluebirds returnedafter fall migration, and that more young were hatched on theisland this year than in the previous two years. With increasesin both population size and proportion of resident bluebirds,it appears that progress is being made towards establishing a self-sustaining population of these beautiful native songbirds, absentfrom our islands for more than years.

Our success does not end here, however. Restoration of biologicaldiversity is only one of our goals. Another goal is to permanentlyprotect the habitat that support these less common species.Western bluebirds are closely tied to Garry oak ecosystemsthroughout their range… and in the Salish Sea region, this typeof habitat has shrunk to less than % of its historical size.Restoration and preservation of oak – prairie habitat will ensurethat the Western bluebird (and many other species) will thrivewell into the future. Through its educational and outreach efforts,the San Juan Preservation Trust will continue to inform islandersabout the importance of Garry oak and other imperiled ecosystems,while working with private landowners who recognize the valuein protecting these habitats for future generations…whether theybe human, avian, or otherwise.

Start with a stunning piece of conservation land. Add some deli-cious local food, graceful paintings of our favorite island places,and people who care passionately about keeping our San Juanshealthy and beautiful, and you’ve got the makings of a great gathering.The Preservation Trust’s th Anniversary Summer Social, heldon the Whitridge family’s iconic Arcady Farm on Orcas Island,proved to be another successful event enjoyed by our manyenthusiastic members.

It takes many hands to pull these large events off and we wantto thank in particular the volunteers who stepped forward to helpwith everything from serving food and beverages to guiding kidsin their nature activities. A special “hats off ” to Fred Whitridge,our host for this year’s Social, and to the following businesses andorganizations for their support: Orcas Village Store, Crow ValleyPottery, Plein Air Painters of Washington, San Juan Vineyards,Lopez Island Vineyards, the Orcas Lions Club, and musiciansGordon Koenig, Anita Orne, and J.P.
