To inquire or become a sponsor, please email Ric Brewer at rbrewer@saveland.org <mailto:rbrewer@saveland.org?subject=LandFest%20sponsorship> or call him at 360.379.9501 x112. Volunteer Fest Fun <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=12abba2fdf&e=c62e014255> Milly and Keith Lierman volunteering at LandFest 2023. In the early summer of 2023, as Milly and Keith Lierman settled into their newly purchased home near Quimper West Preserve <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb2 1&id=5dac2cd498&e=c62e014255> in Port Townsend, they were looking for ways to engage with their newfound community. One Tuesday, they noticed a group of Jefferson Land Trust volunteers undertaking a forest thinning project at Quimper West. As environmentalists who want to use their retirement years to help reverse human-caused climate change and improve the health of our planet, Milly and Keith were excited to discover the Land Trust, eager to learn more about our work, and interested in getting involved. Happily, a golden opportunity to do all this and more was only days away: LandFest 2023! Tickets were sold out, but the Land Trust was still looking for volunteers to help out at the event. So the Liermans signed on as volunteers — and were delighted by what unfolded. The first treat was seeing Luke Burbank take the LandFest stage as co-host. As longtime fans of NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me,” on which Luke is a frequent guest, they were thrilled. (Luke will return this year, along with co-host Matt Smith, to host LandFest 2024 <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=42d5fdd900&e=c62e014255> !) The next thrill was discovering that one of their “climate change heroes,” geologist Dr. David Montgomery, was the event’s keynote speaker along with his wife, biologist Anne Biklé. Having read several of David’s books and listened to him and Anne discussing soil health on various podcasts, it was “a total treat” to get to hear them speak. Throughout the evening, Keith and Milly also had a great time connecting with other community volunteers and guests, and enjoying rave-worthy, locally sourced food from Chef Dan Ratigan and his team from the Fireside Restaurant at the Resort at Port Ludlow (where LandFest 2024 <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=fd499c7c01&e=c62e014255> will be held.) They also learned a lot about Jefferson Land Trust — and we’ve been glad to have them as part of the Jefferson Land Trust community ever since! Would you like to volunteer at LandFest 2024?

Soil Health Grant Supports Land Trust Staff, Local Farmers, and Protected Farmland <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=dd4c0f6845&e=c62e014255> Above and lower right: Jefferson Land Trust's Stewardship Coordinator Marlowe Moser (left) with Aaron Oman, Natural Resource Conservation Services (NRCS) Soil Conservationist based out of Port Angeles, in February 2024. Here, they're practicing NRCS's Cropland In-Field Soil Health Assessment at the Land Trust's Chimacum Commons property. In 2023, Jefferson Land Trust was awarded a Soil Health Stewards Program grant <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=d0e58639a3&e=c62e014255> from the American Farmland Trust’s (AFT) National Agricultural Land Network (NALN) <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=e01eea2762&e=c62e014255> . Over the past year, the $10,000 grant and associated training has been helping two members of our stewardship team — Director of Stewardship and Resilience Erik Kingfisher and Stewardship Coordinator Marlowe Moser — expand the Land Trust’s understanding of soil health and soil health practices. <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=abbe17daf4&e=c62e014255> Through the training, face-to-face meetings with local farmers and other soil management experts, and accompanying ongoing support from AFT, we’ve gained highly useful knowledge, tools, and resources that are now enabling us to better evaluate and understand the soil conditions on farmland we’ve helped protect — and better support the farmers, ranchers, and other landowners who care for these permanently protected agricultural soils. In April 2023, Erik and Marlowe completed the multi-day virtual training. Then, they grabbed their shovels and headed out to meet with the Land Trust’s agricultural landowners in the field. A crow flying overhead would have seen a group of people squatting around a freshly dug hole, absorbed in handfuls of dirt. What were the humans up to? Making observations about soil health indicators together, of course — pointing out and discussing things like aggregate structure, root depth and growth form, earthworms, and more. Through these productive conversations, the Land Trust gained greater knowledge about the land and about local soil management. In turn, we were able to connect the landowners with helpful technical resources and share about land management practices that will help preserve and improve soil health over time.

Each year, as Pigeon Guillemot breeding season approaches, the adult birds return from their wintering areas to pair bond through a variety of courtship rituals, including singing; circling each other; playfully chasing each other around on the water; and billing, when a mated pair holds their open beaks close together. <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=b61681180d&e=c62e014255> "Hunch-whistles" are another courtship behavior. For more than 20 years, the Salish Sea Guillemot Network <https://saveland.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25cbb92181e6db1730fe5fb21&id=cc08833a4b&e=c62e014255> has conducted annual monitoring of Pigeon Guillemot breeding colonies. Volunteer citizen scientists like Hillary (and our Communications Manager Stephanie!) visit each colony weekly for one hour. They count the birds, map nest cavities, record disturbances, and identify prey (fish) delivered to the chicks. Pigeon Guillemots haven’t been the focus of much research in the Salish Sea region. These monitoring efforts help to fill this gap, increase awareness of coastal bluff processes, and foster stewardship of nearshore marine environments. To learn more about Pigeon Guillemot surveys in Jefferson County, check out two episodes of the Nature Now radio broadcast on KPTZ. They were produced by Dr. Jackie Canterbury — a local ornithologist, Pigeon Guillemot survey volunteer, Land Trust supporter, and one of the hosts of Nature Now.

Through meditative guidance, we remember how to walk slowly, connect to the earth, and breathe more deeply. By listening to our feet, we unravel from old patterns, taught to us by a fast culture and over-protective, constrictive footwear. For cold season walks, come wearing warm clothing! Once the feet get moving, the circulation provides natural warming to the feet. You are welcome to come in barefoot style footwear. Come with your curiosity and questions. Rain or shine. All feet are welcome!
