The aspects of life of Lopez that resonate with residents as well as visitors, are the rolling farmlands, serene woodlands and picturesque open spaces with shimmering vistas. Many of these areas are ecologically fragile and we are very conscious of our impact on our natural resources. Water is finite, wild fires are disastrous, and recycling is hard-wired into our DNA. We are particularly aware that Lopez is part of the traditional lands of the Coast Salish peoples and honor with gratitude their stewardship over generations of the land and sea. We commit to continuing to learn how to be better stewards of this precious landscape.

Only build fires in designated fire pits in public campgrounds.
An illegal fire could be disastrous given the remote location of many natural sites open to the public. Please help us protect our island by not having fires in any of our day parks/public lands.
Don’t feed the wildlife and keep pets leased so they don’t disturb animals and nests.
Make room on trails for others; avoid yelling or loud music. Care for the limited water supply by consciously conserving how much you use.
Please keep in mind when visiting public farms and farm stands you are entering a space in which people work and live. Be mindful of where you walk and keep to the designated public areas, never entering private space, homes, or yards. Remember to grab a gift for yourself and a friend when leaving the farm stand! Thank you for respecting our agricultural community here on Lopez Island.
The Lopez Island Chamber of Commerce is in place to support our members and offer tourist information to visitors.
