Padilla Bay Foundation Late-Winter 2023 Newsletter

Remember those Trail Cams you all helped purchase a few months ago?

The Reserve has a small piece of beach front property far out on Samish Island on the south side. There is a different view of Padilla Bay from there.

Many of you contributed to the Foundation during Giving Tuesday and Year-end fund raising activities. It was amazing how generous you were and with many thoughtful notes. Our “goal” for funds was well exceeded so we are well positioned to assist the Reserve, where needs will be many, as the busy spring/summer visitation and education activities fill the place daily!

Already you have helped fund a temporary employee to assist in organizing curriculum and preparing for online teacher access and accommodation of evolving educational standards.

So … THANK YOU all for the continued care and support.

Lastly, we hope to see many of you at the March 11 Smith-Aguero Lecture featuring Tele Aadsen with stories and pictures from a fisher-poet … Salmon, Told with Love.
