Whidbey Camano Land Trust invites the public to tour a private forest on South Whidbey at 10 a.m. Wednesday, April 4.

Harry Case has managed this 176-acre forest for over 60 years. In 2008, he permanently protected it for future generations by donating a conservation easement to the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

Located near both Putney and Saratoga Woods, this forest boasts over five million board feet of timber. The conservation easement protects this forest from being clear-cut and developed. Walk through this forest on a guided tour led by Case and the Whidbey Camano Land Trust.

To RSVP, call 360-222-3310 or email info@wclt.org. Details and directions will be sent to those who RSVP. Space is limited, so RSVP early.
