Contributions large and small continue to build up the Whidbey Camano Land Trust fund to purchase Trillium Woods. Local donors include elementary school students, riding clubs, 4-H groups, and individuals giving in memory of a loved one. All these contributors see great value in donating money to preserve more than 600 acres of forestland, the origin of three creeks: one running to Mutiny Bay, another to South Whidbey State Park, and the third to the wetlands of the Wilbert Trail.

A total of $4.2 million is needed by Sept. 10. Of that, $2.5 million is already committed. With your help, this land can be preserved for our children and grandchildren. Please donate as generously as you are able to savetheforestnow.org; Whidbey Camano Land Trust, 765 Wonn Road, Barn C-201, Greenbank, WA 98253; or by calling Whidbey Camano Land Trust at 360-222-3310.
