Stand for the Land – a bold Land Trust campaign to safeguard critical habitat before it’s gone – got an enormous boost in the form of a $500,000 challenge grant, which began on July 28. Many thanks to all who helped us fulfill the $500,000 challenge grant two months early! Inspired by the generosity of our community, a couple stepped forward to offer an additional $100,000 challenge, which has also been fulfilled. We are now more halfway to our overall Stand for the Land goal!
The Bainbridge Island Land Trust’s mission is to preserve and steward the diverse natural environment of Bainbridge Island for the benefit of all. To achieve this goal, the Land Trust acquires interests in land having significant or potentially significant conservation values such as scenic vistas, wetlands, open spaces, tidelands, forest, unique plant and animal habitats and stream and wildlife corridors. We work with private landowners to protect their land using land protection agreements called conservation easements. We also work with a variety of partners to acquire land for preserves, parks, trails and public use.
