Our Story

Vashon Nature Center offers people the opportunity to connect with nature and one another while experiencing the wonders of being in the natural world. Our roots are deep and our wings are wide! Locally, our projects benefit our islands and weave nature into our community’s daily life.

Our projects also plug into region-wide issues and partnerships to help create large-scale positive cultural and environmental change throughout the entire Salish Sea. Come outside with us!
