The San Juan Preservation Trust, The Trust for Public Land, and the San Juan County Land Bank today announced that they will hold the “Rally for Turtleback Mountain” on Saturday, September 9, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the Coffelt Farm in Orcas Island’s Crow Valley.

The rally is part of the Campaign to Save Turtleback Mountain from development and provide the public with access to its many treasures. “We invite island residents and visitors alike to rally in support of conserving Turtleback Mountain for current and future generations,” said Jonathan White, San Juan Preservation Trust trustee and member of the Campaign to Save Turtleback Steering Committee. “A land conservation project as important as Turtleback requires the support of the entire community. So, we encourage everyone who loves the magnificent beauty of the San Juan Islands to join us for this exciting event.”
