KNOW YOUR ISLAND WALK
Saturday, April 25th, 10am - 1pm
Salish Seeds, Island Haven, Madrone Cellars
Join the first Know Your Island Walk of 2026 for a triple tour event, featuring the Salish Seeds Project nursery, Island Haven Animal Sanctuary, and Madrone Cellars. The Salish Seeds Project tour will be led by Nursery and Outreach Assistant for the San Juan County Conservation Land Bank, Margo Thorp. After our tour of the nursery, we’ll walk a mile down Valley Farms Road to Island Haven Animal Sanctuary, where the non-profit's founder and director, Julie Duke, will share her passion in providing lifetime care for equines and farmed animals. Afterwards and right next door, the owner and winemaker of Madrone Cellars, Shaun Salamida, will offer us a tour of their facility.
We’ll meet up at 10am at the Salish Seeds Project nursery located within the San Juan Preservation Trust's Red Mill Farm, 290 Valley Farms Road. Know Your Island Walks are free of charge and usually last 2 to 3 hours. We suspect this event will run a full 3+ hours. Due to the minimal parking available at Red Mill Farm, carpooling is encouraged. No dogs will be allowed on this walk.
