As part of 2021’s selective harvest, the Land Trust offered a harvested tree, free of charge, to 16 local nonprofit, education, community, and Tribal partners to use in support of their missions. Many of these groups, along with others, participated in the planning for Chimacum Ridge Community Forest, helping to shape a vision for a forest that will offer ecological, economic, and recreational value to our community forever. The Port Townsend School of Woodworking was one of these partners, and decided to donate their tree to the SplinterGroup who planed to showcase this harvested wood in the 2022 Woodworkers Show. Members of the SplinterGroup handpicked two trees at Valley View, and were on hand to observe as the trees were carefully harvested in December 2021.

Jane retired as a naturopathic physician and dean of the naturopathic medicine program at Bastyr University in 2017. Having lived in Jefferson County briefly in the late 1980s, she always dreamed of retiring in Port Townsend. Upon moving there in 2017 she quickly got involved in community activities, including volunteering with Jefferson Land Trust, the Port Townsend Marine Science Center, the Northwest Maritime Center, the Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding, the North Olympic Salmon Coalition, and the Jefferson County Food Bank. “After a wonderful career working to help people restore their health and wellness and develop personal resilience, the Land Trust caught my interest because I want to make an impact on these same issues for our community and the planet through environmental stewardship,” she says.
