IslandWood was built explicitly for discovery — so that children, educators, and community members could discover more deeply the natural world around them. With our Dine & Discover series, we invite you to discover!
Discover our trails, treehouses, canopy tower, and suspension bridge. Discover something about your community and maybe yourself.
Join us on our Bainbridge Island campus for the perfect evening including an appetizer reception, live music, a beautiful meal with wine pairings, and an optional hike through our 250 acres of trails. What a delicious way to support IslandWood’s innovative environmental education programs. We only host this event four times a year, so we hope you can make it!

In a typical year, we serve 50 school districts and 30,000 people with environmental learning!

IslandWood acknowledges that the land on which we gather is within the ancestral territory of the suqʷabš “People of Clear Salt Walter” (Suquamish People). Expert fisherman, canoe builders and basket weavers, the suqʷabš live in harmony with the lands and waterways along Washington’s Central Salish Sea as they have for thousands of years. Here, the suqʷabš live and protect the land and waters of their ancestors for future generations as promised by the Point Elliot Treaty of 1855. While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
IslandWood is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Our tax ID number is 31-1654076.
