A $300,000 grant from the Paul G. Allen Forest Protection Foundation has helped the San Juan Preservation Trust buy 205 acres on Waldron Island’s Disney Mountain. The property includes over a mile of shoreline along President Channel immediately northwest of Orcas Island.
"The San Juan Preservation Trust’s acquisition on Waldron Island will add protection to significant wildlife habitat in the San Juan Islands," said Jody Patton, executive director of The Paul G. Allen Forest Protection Foundation. "We are pleased to support the Trust and help save this acreage, and applaud their ongoing preservation efforts."
Allen, the philanthropic billionaire, established the foundation to support projects that acquire forestlands and protect them from development and exploitation.
The Waldron property encompasses many treasured features of the San Juan Islands’ landscape. Dramatic headlands and pocket beaches, grassy balds and rock outcrops, an array of wildflowers, forested habitat for raptors and songbirds are some of the elements that comprise this new addition to the Trust’s system of nature preserves.
