Appreciation Walk at Little Skookum Inlet Preserve

Thursday, September 25

Be among the first to see Capitol Land Trust’s latest conserved property.

Thanks to your support, Capitol Land Trust has been able to permanently protect a unique stretch of shoreline and forest along Little Skookum Inlet—a place with deep ties to both people and nature.

Once managed for timber and bordered by long-standing shellfish beds, this land is now an important addition to our portfolio of conserved properties. Under our stewardship, we envision healthy forests and a regenerated salmon-bearing stream, creating a habitat that sustains both wildlife and community livelihoods.

We invite you to join us for a guided walk at this new 66-acre preserve, which is not open to the public. Together, we’ll explore the inlet’s shoreline, young and older forests, and a creek shaded by trees and ferns.
