Features
Stonebridge-Terrill Preserve protects 59-acres of meadow, wetlands, and forest. Acquired in 2005, the Preserve provides varied habitat for wildlife, retains stormwater, and helps recharge aquifers. Used historically for agriculture, a portion of the property still yields hay for island livestock. A portion of the field is also used occasionally by the Orcas Radio Control Aircraft Society.
