Seeking enthusiastic Volunteers for a day of fun at Fidalgo Bay Day and National Estuaries Day. This is a FREE, family-friendly event with the beautiful setting on Fidalgo Bay.
Skagit Land Trust will have two small displays; one indoors and one outside, and would like 1-3 Volunteers for each to enable Volunteers time to enjoy the activities and fresh food on their own.
The event is open to guests from 11 AM -3PM, set-up will begin at 10 AM.
Volunteers will help by representing Skagit Land Trust at display tables; talking to guests about natural ecosystems, local conservation efforts, healthy habitats for wildlife and recreational opportunities. Volunteers are encouraged to ask guests to sign up for email announcements to join other volunteer activities.
If you have not volunteered for Skagit Land Trust a short orientation prior to the event will be organized.

About Skagit Land Trust

PO Box 1017, 1020 S Third Street, Mount Vernon, WA 98273, US
Mission Statement
Skagit Land Trust conserves wildlife habitat, agricultural and forest lands, scenic open space, wetlands, and shorelines in Skagit County, Washington for the benefit of our community and as a legacy for future generations.
Description
Conservation
Skagit Land Trust acquires land for protection through purchase or gifts of land and by assisting landowners and other conservation groups and agencies to protect land. The conservation easement is a popular option as it allows the land to remain in private ownership while restricting certain future uses to protect the land’s wildlife and conservation values. Some of the Trust's most successful projects have protected habitat areas across private ownership boundaries, helping residents, ranchers, farmers, and businesses to join a wider protection network.
Stewardship
Each Trust-owned property has dedicated Land Steward volunteers committed to regular site visits, reports, and help with volunteer projects. Annual monitoring visits to easement properties provide an opportunity to review stewardship goals with landowners. Ongoing stewardship needs vary by site and can involve restoration projects such as native plantings and invasive species removal or providing public access via trails or wildlife viewing stations.
Education
Conservation lands offer outdoor learning experiences for children and adults. Educational tours and volunteer events are organized in partnership with various community groups. Interpretive signs designed by naturalists are located at publically accessible properties and share information on the area’s natural features such as the elk of Hurn Field, forage fish of Fidalgo Bay, and wildflowers of Guemes Mountain.
