Mar 7, 2024
By San Juan County Land Bank
What’s your vision for the 23+ acre Preserve?
The San Juan County Conservation Land Bank is seeking public input on its recently completed Draft Stewardship and Management Plan (SMP) for Richardson Marsh Preserve on Lopez Island. The purpose of the SMP is to provide overarching goals and management objectives for the Preserve’s natural resources. SMPs guide decision-making and work planning and promote transparency. For the 76 percent of Land Bank properties that are open to the public, SMPs also define the level of public access in ways that meet our mission to provide opportunities for low-intensity recreation. These plans are revised periodically in response to changing environmental and social conditions.

Public Comment Period: March 2 - March 31, 2024
Please submit your comments by March 31, 2024.
After the thirty-day comment period closes, Land Bank staff and commissioners will review comments and consider revision to the draft plan. An overview of comments will be provided at the April 19, 2024, commission meeting.
