Become a Business Member

When your business becomes a member of Friends of the ACFL, you are choosing to stand with the forest at the heart of Fidalgo Island and the people who depend on it. This is where kids fall in love with nature on muddy field trips, where neighbors of all ages walk off a hard day, retirees greet each other on familiar loops, and joggers, cyclists, and horseback riders all find their own rhythm on the trail. It is where visitors glimpse what makes our community different from anywhere else.

Your support helps keep these experiences possible. It fuels forest education that sparks curiosity and care in the next generation, stewardship that protects trails, lakes, and habitat, and a welcoming Forest Discovery Center downtown where everyone can learn, gather, and feel at home. As a business member, you are not just writing a check; you are weaving your name into the story of this place—caring for the living landscape that inspires your employees, customers, and community every single day.
