Edudaction Stations - teaching on the land
ORGANIZATION: Skagit Land Trust
Please visit the new page to apply.
Skagit Land Trust is seeking enthusiastic environmental educators and volunteers who like to work with kids, to assist on 2 more field trips scheduled on May 18th and 24th. Each field trip consists of six themed Investigation Stations and we need help to staff those stations as well as help us to set up and take them down. Second graders from Sedro-Woolley schools will spend about 3 hours visiting the Utopia Conservation Area.
Volunteers will present activities and information to small groups of students who will rotate through the stations every 20 minutes. The themes and activities have already been prepared, so a brief training should be sufficient. We will schedule visits to Utopia ahead of time, to familiarize with the activities and the sites if needed.
RSVP for a date and station you are interested in!

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.
