Dear Members and Friends: It was quite an honor to serve as President of the Vashon-Maury Island Land Trust during the year that we celebrated 20 years of operations. We had so much fun at Salmon Chanted Evening, the party we threw at Fisher Pond in September, that we’re going to do it again this year. 2009 saw us finishing up the Maury Island Conservation Initiative, which protected a mile and a half of marine shoreline in Quartermaster Harbor. We launched a new project to protect the shorelines that feed sand to Point Heyer (KVI Beach). And we continued to make great progress with the Paradise Valley Preserve, with protected lands now covering 68 acres along Judd Creek. With your support, the Land Trust has maintained momentum and financial health through the downturn. We have been heartened by the community’s enthusiasm for our new Shinglemill Creek Trail, and we look forward to bringing you many more exciting new preserves and trails in the coming years. Thank You, Amy Huggins, Board President, 2009
