Our Team

Blackcap Restoration is a three member team of islanders looking to improve the ecologies and habitats of the San Juan Islands. We are all inspired by this landscape hope our work can help keep it healthy for all of us.

All three of us came to this work after taking the Islands Conservation Corps’ year long program, which taught us field based restoration work, with an emphasis on chainsaw training.

Anna has a passion for native plants, and is always chasing down one ID or another.

After spending years years working in kitchens, Matt found renewed purpose working in riparian and forest restoration. He still makes a mean sauce though.

Sam enjoys native flowers, felling trees, and mucking about in swamps.
