The mission of Bainbridge Island Land Trust is preservation and stewardship of the diverse natural environment of Bainbridge Island for the benefit of all.

To achieve this goal, Bainbridge Island Land Trust seeks to foster, through education and example, a greater understanding of the natural environment and the benefits of its preservation and stewardship in perpetuity; to acquire interest in land having significant conservation values such as scenic vistas, wetlands, open spaces, tidelands, forests, unique plant and animal habitats, and stream and wildlife corridors, and to help landowners minimize the environmental impact of development.

Bainbridge Island Land Trust offers an opportunity for landowners to protect and preserve the special character of their land for now and for future generations. There are several ways this can be done, some of which allow the landowner to continue to own and use the land. Many of these techniques may also provide tax benefits, which may include reductions in federal income taxes, federal estate taxes, and local property taxes.
