Vendovi Island
May. 5th, 2025 09:36 pm
I went on a trip to Vendovi Island in the San Juans on Saturday. It was a private island for decades before it was purchased by the San Juan Preservation trust in 2010. Other than a house and boat dock at the north end, the owners left it completely undeveloped, meaning it still has a lot of native plants.
The island is open to the public five days a week in summer - if you can get there. Which means having your own boat or chartering one. My trip was organised by the local audubon society who chartered a boat, so I figured it would probably be my only chance to get to this island and I signed up the first day. Despite being arranged by the audubon society, it was scheduled with the flowering of native plants in mind more than birds (although there were birds).
