San Juan County Land Bank celebrates 30 years

Submitted by the San Juan County Land Bank

Your Conservation Land Bank turns 30 this year and is celebrating with a multi-island exploration. Every preserve has a story – gather your family and get outside this summer to discover what your public lands have to say!

The San Juan County Land Bank teamed up with the Lopez, Orcas, and San Juan Island libraries to create fun and engaging activities for island families to enjoy this summer. Learn the stories of your public lands while imagining some of your own!

This adventure is free and anyone can participate. Contact your island’s library for more information regarding their summer reading program and registration dates.
