Whidbey Environmental Action Network (WEAN)

Whidbey Environmental Action Network (WEAN)

We envision an Island County whose protected environment supports myriad species in harmony, and whose engaged community recognizes the interdependence of all life and actively participates in stewardship of and advocacy for our shared home. 

Our mission is to protect wild spaces and promote healthy ecosystems in and beyond Island County. We serve this mission through:

Environmental Education

We provide resources and experiences that connect our neighbors to nature and support their understanding of environmental science and ecological processes.


Engagement & Advocacy

 We provide tools to support people to advocate for the environment, to engage in civic processes, and to take collective responsibility for the wellbeing of our island homes.


Preservation & Restoration

We work to prevent damage to ecosystems when possible and restore them when necessary, with attention to species diversity, natural systems, and habitat health.


Litigation

We advocate to improve and enforce local ordinances and public policy. When necessary, we use legal means to enforce laws that protect the environment.
