We're Hiring a Caretaker

We’re seeking a Caretaker & Facilities Specialist for Red Mill Farm Preserve on San Juan Island. This live-in caretaker position is half-time (20 hours/week), year-round, and includes a salary (in addition to housing and utilities) plus paid vacation, medical/family leave, 11 holidays/year, and other benefits.

Tuning Up Our Middle "C"

Closing on a land-acquisition project wraps up an essential, often exciting, chapter, but it is far from the end of the story. What comes next is implementing the Preservation Trust’s commitment to the second (or middle) “C” — Caring for the land in perpetuity. 

Recently our stewardship staff spent an education day with Marty Main, a seasoned ecological forester whose career has focused on helping small-woodland owners manage their forests.
