What do you see?

This image contains a hidden a future. The fine grains of sand on this beach can sustain thousands of forage fish eggs – these eggs will become the small fish that sustain the Chinook salmon, that sustain the endangered Southern Resident orcas.

It’s your donation that will ensure that the future includes orca, salmon, forage fish, and natural beaches. We think that’s a future worth fighting for but we can’t do it without you.

For forty years, Friends has been protecting beaches like the one shown here, by working with property owners, cultivating youth and community stewardship, and restoration projects with partners.

Click here to make a special donation to Friends of the San Juans. Together we advocate, educate and protect what you love in the San Juan Islands and Salish Sea. All donations made before December 31st will be matched!

Thank you so much for your support!

It means so much to me to have helped protect the rural environment and natural beauty of the San Juan Islands during the 1980s and 90s. Now I get to share my appreciation of these beautiful islands with my grandchildren, too.
