The Land Trust is excited to provide new ways to bring the wonders of our Island’s natural world to you, virtually.

Dear Supporters of the Land Trust, Your health and the safety of our community are vital to the work of the Land Trust, as is, of course, our staff.

Regrettably, we have canceled all upcoming public group tours of the new Springbrook Creek Preserve and other properties out of an abundance of caution. But you can take a virtual tour by clicking below: Springbrook Creek Preserve Virtual Tour Miller-Kirkman Preserve Virtual Tour Our community is extremely lucky to have joined together for over 30 years to protect more than 1,400 acres of natural places on the Island.

Try visits to Agate Passage Preserve, Pritchard Park, the Grand Forest, or Gazzam Lake Nature Preserve, all properties that the Land Trust has helped conserve and are currently open for independent public access. We’re all in this together. If you need help with anything, please reach out to us.

The Bainbridge Island Land Trust is pleased to announce a fourth conservation opportunity through our Stand for the Land campaign. The 23-acre Springbrook Creek Preserve contains a resplendent landscape of mixed conifer uplands and stream-side alder forests.
For over a year, the Bainbridge Island Land Trust (Land Trust) has been aware of and has been working diligently to address the Washington Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) plans to construct a roundabout at the corner of State Route 305 and Day Road. The Land Trust holds a conservation easement – our first one – on nearly 24 acres in the vicinity of this project.
Each year, a number of local businesses and individuals pledge their support for our mission through our Business Sponsorship program. We are grateful for these partners, who sponsor both our annual fundraising event and ongoing land acquisition projects!
