Third Lagoon Preserve

The San Juan County Conservation Land Bank is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and protecting exceptional lands in the San Juan Islands of Washington. Established in 1990, the Land Bank was created by a group of local residents who were concerned about the loss of cherished natural areas due to development and tourism. Through the use of a real estate excise tax, the Land Bank has been able to acquire and maintain preserves that provide public access to rustic trails, shoreline areas, and wildlife viewing spots, while also safeguarding the unique plants, animals, and habitats that make the islands so special.

With a focus on community involvement, the Land Bank relies on volunteers who monitor preserves, participate in work parties, and organize educational field trips. The organization's efforts have resulted in the protection of farms, forests, shores, and scenic vistas, ensuring that both locals and visitors can enjoy the benefits of these preserved lands. Through their dedication to conservation, the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank has created a lasting legacy of natural beauty and public access in the San Juan Islands.
