To the editor:

As many of your readers may be aware, the 664-acre former Trillium property northwest of Freeland is coming up for sale soon, and the Whidbey Camano Land Trust has mounted an enthusiastic effort to purchase it for posterity.

As one of the folks who helped to save the similarly-sized Putney Woods from clear-cutting and development, I would encourage all who care about the future of our island watersheds to visit www.savetheforestnow.org for more information about how they can help in this noble effort.
