About This Landscape

Vashon Island is a forested island in the heart of the Salish Sea, shaped by ancient glaciers and home to rich ecosystems and cultures. Nestled between Seattle, Tacoma, and the Kitsap Peninsula, about 11,000 residents now live on the island, spanning nearly 40 square miles.

The island's unique position in southern Puget Sound creates a distinct ecological and community identity, where forests, shorelines, and agricultural lands coexist within a tightly knit island community. Regenerate Vashon brings together conservation leaders, land trust stewards, and community organizers to advance place-based regeneration across the island's interconnected watersheds and habitats.
