Your gift is helping us take the next vital step in our vision: the protection of 55 acres of unprotected coastal forest on Hanson Island. This forest borders Double Bay Sanctuary on both sides and surrounds the bay itself. Securing this land will ensure that the living culture within these trees, and the diverse forest ecosystem they sustain, remain safeguarded for generations to come. Already, your support has brought us closer to making this vision a reality. Each contribution not only protects the land from development but also strengthens our ongoing restoration work&mdash;removing logging debris, derelict fishing gear, and plastics that threaten the shoreline and waters. Together, we are building a legacy of care, one rooted in the connection between land, sea, and culture. Thank you for standing with us in this mission. With deep gratitude,Our whole Team 💜
