It’s been just over a year since Pat Powell, our executive director, was interviewed for the book, Whidbey Island’s Special Places. For this book, author Dan Pedersen interviewed local guides who could help readers experience Whidbey Island through their own voices and eyes. He says, “I chose 10 individuals and couples whose passions range from birds to orcas, to flying, diving, biology, forestry, cemeteries, lighthouses, land protection, recreation and small-town life.”
This event honors the community volunteers who help keep the Clinton library going, and brings them together with as many as possible of those featured in the book to talk about the things they love on Whidbey Island.
Meet Pat and others featured in the book when they gather at Clinton Community Hall, at 7 pm, Thursday, December 2. The program is sponsored by Clinton Library.

Did you know that our local library system contains a wealth of materials about land conservation, our earth’s natural resources, wildlife and habitat? Guess what? The Whidbey Camano Land Trust is featured in the Oak Harbor library’s main display case. Between now and November 30, the display features information about the Land Trust. It highlights its current projects on North Whidbey. Part of the display are books and materials available for reference and check-out. They help tell the “big picture” story of land protection with a focus on land protection in Island County. Check out this fantastic display on your next visit to the library!

The Land Trust is proud to help sponsor (and be one of the field trip leaders!) of the 3rd Annual Ebey’s Forever Conference and Community Event on November 5 and 6. The conference offers a slate of behind-the-scenes field trips, workshops, local music, and a taste of Ebey’s – hosted by experts in agriculture, historic preservation, and sustainability. The conference’s keynote address, workshops, and field trips take place or start at the Camp Casey Conference Center.
Field trips are filling up but there’s still some room in the Land Trust-led “Adventures with Giant Trees” field trip. Join us on this trip where you will explore the oldest and gnarliest trees on Whidbey Island up close and personal with Whidbey Camano Land Trust leaders. You’ll also find out what these monsters eat for breakfast and other cool science facts about this rare patch of old-growth coastal forest.
Online registration closes at midnight on Thursday, November 4. See the conference website for up-to-date info on space available in sessions and field trips and to register online.
