“To achieve the incredible, we must attempt the impossible.”
Together, we achieved the incredible by protecting a square mile of land, setting aside a home for wildlife, and saving a special place to cherish.
Now let’s celebrate our achievement!
| When | Sunday, October 24, from 2-4 p.m. |
| Where | The M-Bar-C Ranch 5264 Shore Meadow Road Freeland, WA 98249 |
| Bring | A dessert to share or a food bank donation. |
The deal is done! The Trillium forest is saved.
Smiling as the deed was recorded, Pat Powell, executive director of the Whidbey Camano Land Trust, completed the transaction to purchase the 664-acre Trillium forest on central Whidbey Island. More than 1485 individual donations made the purchase possible. A soldier overseas contributed $5.00. An anonymous donor concerned with the survival of wildlife habitat came forward with a very significant gift that allowed the Land Trust to purchase the property. In between were 1483 other named donations.
“It seemed impossible in March and yet it happened,” says Pat Powell. “Hundreds of people took a stand to save wildlife habitat, open space, and a place for people to be out in nature. With their dollars and their effort, they voted this a high priority. The impossible dream came true in September. Our hearts are brimming with gratitude.”
