Orcas Island, Washington
-
For a community-minded landowner, Point32 is facilitating the restoration of an 18-acre hilltop site that was badly damaged from logging and speculative pre-development earth moving. Together with an island-based restoration ecologist, roadways have been removed, new meadows and rocky balds have been restored with native plants, and intensive forest management has been initiated for the remaining forested areas. Future structures will be located within previously disturbed areas, and rely on solar power for a significant portion of their annual energy use.
