PORT ANGELES — The North Olympic Land Trust will tell of 25 years of community work to conserve farms, fish and forests during its annual meeting at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The land trust’s 25th annual public membership meeting will be at the Fairview Grange, 161 Lake Farm Road.
The program also will include a talk by local historian Alice Alexander, who writes a column for the Peninsula Daily News.
Alexander will tell of the history of the Lyre River and its inhabitants.
In November, the land trust acquired 280 acres of land that features an important estuary at the mouth of the Lyre River, streams, wetlands, tidelands, kelp beds and bluff-backed beaches.
The property also includes a large upland area with a diverse forest at various ages of growth.
The land trust plans to open the property for public day use later this year.
In addition, the hour-and-a-half-long program will include an update from Executive Director Tom Sanford on recent and upcoming land trust activities.
The second annual Gary Colley Legacy Award will be given to the founders of Friends of the Fields and the North Olympic Land Trust.
During the annual membership meeting, supporters will vote on the election of a slate of directors for its board.
Light refreshments will be provided.
