Stand for the Land

Welcome to the start of something big.
In the face of growing development pressure, the Bainbridge Island Land Trust invites you to join a bold new two-year initiative to protect as many beloved Island places and as much critical habitat as possible. Stand for the Land—the largest and most ambitious campaign in our 29-year history—is off to a great start with the acquisition of two beautiful, ecologically significant properties, but we need your help to keep momentum strong. View our latest Press Release.

Here’s a look at the Stand for the Land projects currently in progress. And remember—this represents just a portion of our overall campaign goal.

Jablonko Preserve

Working in partnership with a multi-generational family, the Land Trust has expanded one of the Island’s most important conservation zones by acquiring 14.17 acres of what was once part of the Peters Tree Farm, adjacent to the Gazzam Lake Nature Preserve.

This spectacular 15-acre parcel along the Cougar Creek drainage area above Eagle Harbor sits in close proximity to seven other protected Land Trust properties and contains some of the most magnificent western red cedar trees on the Island.
