👏🏻Celebrating our incredible Youth Board Advisor!

A huge thank-you to everyone who showed their support for Transition Fidalgo's Youth Board Advisor, Tara Johnson, in completing her rain water catchment system project at the Anacortes Middle School!

One of TF's initiatives is welcoming Youth Board Advisors - high school Junior or Senior students - to participate on our Board for a year, which includes initiating their own environmental or resiliency-focused project in the community.

2026's Youth Board Advisor Tara successfully installed a rain barrel water catchment system at the Anacortes Middle School this month, a project that she initiated, researched, and executed. The system will be used to collect rainwater to water the garden, helping the thriving AMS Garden to lower energy usage and improve plant health. It will also serve as a valuable teaching tool for students in the Garden.

Thank you to all who volunteered and supported this effort. We greatly appreciate you and your interest in helping the next generation step into leadership roles in community and climate resiliency!

If you or someone you know is interested in participating in TF's Youth Board Advisor program next school year, reach out to [email protected] for more details!

🛠️♻️IT'S ALMOST TIME!♻️🛠️

Transition Fidalgo's next Fix-It Days repair cafe event is coming up on Saturday May 30th from 9am - 2pm at the , and we can't wait!

Bring your broken or torn household items down to our booth and see what our skilled repair team can do!

Whether it's a table lamp from your grandmother, a beloved sweater, or a coffee maker on the fritz, we'll take a look and repair it if we can.

Transition Fidalgo's Fix-It Days program has been operating since 2011, providing donation-based repairs to the community in an effort to keep reusable waste out of landfills.

We believe the best way to address the growing waste problem is by providing accessible repair services (like our repair cafes!), and raising awareness about how important reuse, repair, recycling, and reducing waste overall are for ourselves and our planet.

Stop by and check it out: Saturday May 30th, The Depot on 7th & R Avenue, 9am - 2pm!

What better way to celebrate our beautiful forest lands than this?!

05/15/2026

🌿Did you know...community volunteers are helping track the health of the Anacortes Community Forest Lands?

The ACFL Monitoring Program, one of Transition Fidalgo's community programs, combines local knowledge, science, and community care to better understand how our forests are responding to climate change.

Current studies happening within the ACFL Monitoring Program include:
✔ Western Red Cedar tree monitoring
✔ Bird surveys
✔ Soil moisture tracking
✔ Forest plot studies
✔ Weather monitoring
✔ Burn area recovery photos
..But why does this matter?

Because the better we know our forests, the better we can care for them for future generations.

Want to be involved? You can help! We're always looking for volunteers, storytellers, organizers, and supporters. Email 📧 [email protected] to inquire!

🌱Did you know local action can have a global impact?

When communities produce more of their own food, energy, and goods, we:
✔ Reduce pollution
✔ Build resilience
✔ Strengthen local economies
✔ Support healthier communities

That's why Transition Fidalgo focuses on local community programs on Fidalgo Island and the surrounding area that help build resiliency through sharing skills and resources!

A sustainable future begins right here at home.
