Trail Tales
Trail Tales offers educational and recreational activities in a setting that offers rich history and dramatic natural beauty along the shores or Fidalgo and Padilla Bays. The project strives to increase both public understanding and stewardship of the valuable natural resources of these bays and shorelines.
Fidalgo Bay Days
We’ve teamed up with other community partners to help host the Skagit Marine Resources Committee’s Fidalgo Bay Day and celebrate one of Skagit County’s most important resources: the estuaries and aquatic reserve. Join us every August for a family-friendly event that’s fun and intriguing for all ages!
Plastic Recycling Education
We have partnered with Skagit County Solid Waste Division and the Skagit Marine Resource Committee’s Salish Sea Stewards volunteer program to provide education and outreach to residents of Skagit County to reduce single-use plastics that can find their way into our waterways and become marine debris.
The Biodiversity Project
Our mission is to identify, protect, restore, and provide stewardship for important natural
ecosystems in Washington State. The project serves as a non-profit partner for management of lands including Natural Areas, Aquatic Reserves, and inventory data managed by the
Washington Natural Heritage Program.
