Skagit Land Trust

Conserving wildlife habitat, agricultural and forest lands, scenic open space, wetlands, and shorelines for the benefit of our community and as a legacy for future generations.

Strong engaged community and sense of place, citizens value and conserve nature: Citizens and the county’s leadership work to protect the environment because they know that the vibrancy and sustainability of the economy and their quality of life is based on the beauty and health of their surrounding natural world. They assist in stewarding the land through volunteer activities, educational activities and community engagement. The community and its leaders acknowledge and appreciate that Skagit County is part of a dynamic environment and plan according. There is a strong sense of place in the Skagit. People are committed to sustaining a sound natural environment for the benefit of future generations.

Skagit Land Trust is a non-profit organization that conserves land by purchasing and accepting donation of land and conservation easements, and by assisting partners and agencies with land conservation projects. Some of the Trust's most successful projects have protected habitat areas across private ownership boundaries, helping residents, ranchers, farmers, and businesses to join a wider protection network. Our expertise and reputation for partnership building, creative solutions and efficient, nimble land protection uniquely positions Skagit Land Trust at a critical time in Skagit County’s history.
