San Juan County Conservation Land Bank is seeking public input on its Draft Stewardship and Management Plan (SMP) for the Spencer Spit Preserve on Lopez Island.
You can download a copy of the Draft Plan from the Land Bank’s website by following this link: Spencer Spit Preserve Draft SMP PDF.
If you would like a printed copy of the SMP mailed to you, please contact Tanja Williamson at 360-378-4402 or tanjaw@sjclandbank.org.
The Spencer Spit Preserve is 18 forested acres on the north side of Spencer Spit State Park. This high bank shoreline property is visible from the ferry. The draft plan proposes constructing a 0.5 mile trail to an overlook and partnering with State Parks for routine management.
Please submit your comments by February 28, 2023.
After the comment period closes, Land Bank staff and commissioners will review comments and consider revision to the draft plan. An overview of comments will be provided at the March 17, 2023, commission meeting. A final revised plan will be considered for approval by the Land Bank Commission later this year.

PLEASE NOTE: A public meeting on the draft plan will be held on February 15, 2023, at the Lopez Center for Community and the Arts. Meeting format will be a drop-in, open house style between 4-6pm.
