Field & Fern was created in January of 2020 to address the need for a greater understanding of the unique natural landscapes of the San Juan Islands. Our mission is to provide landowners and other current island dwellers with a deeper knowledge of the native species that also call this place home. Through on-site consultations, tailored restoration planning, and planting implementations, our goal is to increase the biodiversity of plants for pollinators, wildlife, and humans to thrive.
