why donate to the friends of the san juans?
Your gift protects the forests, farmlands, and the Salish Sea in and beyond the San Juan Islands, including critical habitat for orcas, salmon, and eelgrass meadows. Donate today and you’ll power on-the-ground conservation, legal advocacy, and community education and action. The ability to defend these waters and shorelines—now and for the next generation—is in your hands.
