Less widely known is the fact that The Nature Conservancy also stewards three other islands in the San Juan Islands and holds the conservation easement on a fourth island. Each month, I hop in the Conservancy’s trusty aunty green boat, to check on these islands and monitor the flora and fauna throughout the year.

Come with me on a quick tour of the Conservancy’s San Juan Island properties. Along the way, I’ll highlight the works of a few local authors who have written about the area.
