Thank You from your Friends at Friends! Download a Beautiful Zoom or Desktop Background

Thank you so much for supporting Friends of the San Juans in 2020. To show our appreciation, we have created backgrounds for your Zoom sessions or computer desktop taken by our very own Marine Science Coordinator, Jess Newley. Enjoy these amazing underwater photos of Pacific herring and Coho salmon! And look out for more images like this from Jess as we launch our new Virtual Reality Immersive Education Program this winter and spring.

The work we accomplish with your support ensures that the San Juan Islands and the Salish Sea are protected and restored for generations to come – thank you again for being part of our community.

We wish you health and happiness in 2021!

It wasn’t until 1979 that San Juan County got a comprehensive growth plan and that was largely due to the Friends of the San Juan’s being there to advocate for the shoreline and the ecosystem. Since then, there have been constant waves of pressure by developers. Friends have risen each time, fighting to protect this fragile and precious place.
