Friends of Cortes Island is delighted to share our Summer Enews with you.

The sun is shining and we’re gearing up for a fabulous summer of awesome events. In this issue, find out how our big beach clean-up went, see the school’s butterfly meadow in full bloom, get an update on the invasive green crab situation, learn more about the wrap up of our screech owl project, and find out about our recent office move.

We are also launching our Summer Fundraising Appeal! Help us raise $30,000 to help keep Cortes wild, beautiful and resilient

With rich forests, stunning coastline, and a wealth of endangered species and ecosystems, Cortes is a very special place. Friends of Cortes Island brings together neighbours, scientists, educators, activists, and nature lovers to monitor, preserve, and restore local ecosystems.

We could not do any of this work without the generous support of our donors. If you love what FOCI is doing in the community, and want to keep our boots on the ground, consider becoming one of our beloved donors.

Donations of any size are so much appreciated by us, and an enormous help. Please consider donating what you can. Thank You!
