Conservation Easement
A conservation easement on the Fakkemas’ 315-acre Beach View Farm (170 acres of farmland and 145 acres of ridgetop forest) permanently protected this iconic North Whidbey landscape. All but two existing homesites were removed. A walking trail takes visitors from the west edge of Oak Harbor to Swan Lake, West Beach and the nearby state park.
