San Juan Islands Conservation District Hosts Community Meetings on Stream & Wetland Protection

The San Juan Islands Conservation District (SJICD) invites community members to attend upcoming Stream & Wetland Community Meetings on San Juan and Orcas Islands this June.

These free community gatherings will bring together neighbors, landowners, and restoration experts to discuss the importance of protecting local streams and wetland habitats. Attendees will learn about watershed health, habitat restoration, and practical ways residents can help support healthy ecosystems across the islands.

The meetings will include a short presentation followed by a community Q&A and discussion. Light refreshments will be provided.
