Join Friends of the ACFL for our annual meeting. All are welcome to attend and here about what has been happening at Friends, learn about easements from Michael Kirshenbaum, the conservation director at Skagit Land Trust, and meet the staff, board, and city officials that help the ACFL thrive!
Join Friends of the ACFL on a quiet stroll to appreciate the evening wildlife around our beaver wetlands.
Join Friends of the ACFL as we learn about frogs, toads, salamanders and other local amphibians. We’ll hop along “lily pads”, look for amphibian eggs, and listen for our slimy friends. This hike is ideal for families with kids ages 0-10 and we will take a slow pace with stops along the way to accommodate our smallest hikers. We welcome all animal enthusiasts and beginner trackers, but please be aware that this hike will be at a slower pace than our other community hikes.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve as Executive Director of such a remarkable organization. It has been an honor to be part of this community and to work toward the shared mission of protecting and stewarding the Anacortes Community Forest Lands. While I am stepping away from my role, I will remain a passionate supporter and look forward to seeing the continued growth and success of Friends in the months and years to come.
With spring in full bloom, we are filled with gratitude for the support of friends – like you! - who make our work possible. We are delighted to share the growth and impact of our forest education programs and new offerings to come in 2024! But we need your help to continue to offer free programming for people of all ages to learn about, and care for, our amazing community forest lands.
Come see Friends of the ACFL at our NEW location - 404 Commercial Ave! It’s an exciting time for Friends of the ACFL! We have recently moved to a new location in the heart of downtown Anacortes and are looking forward to expanding our offerings, presence, and partnerships in the community at our new space.
