Under a beautiful, warm, sunny sky at the Land Trust’s annual picnic on August 21st, 200 people cheered, applauded, and sang along as the plot unfolded of “These are the Days of Our Lands”. This ‘melodramatic morality play accompanied by a Greek chorus’ succinctly told stories of land protection on Whidbey and Camano Islands. A dozen aspiring community members stretched their acting skill and brought to life the roles of the Land Trust, the history of Ebey’s Landing National Historical Reserve, and generous, willing landowners. With two large maps (of Island County and of the Reserve) as visual aids and a brief presentation by Pat Powell, people understood better how much has been protected and how much more still needs to be done.
Following the program, many people went on field trips to various locations in the Ebey’s Landing Reserve.
The verdict on the day? Informational. Engaging. Fun. Fabulous! Check back soon for photos!
