From the 2009 Conference:
Experience America’s rural roots in our nation’s first historical reserve.
The Reserve is a twenty-four square mile mosaic of working farms, iconic barns, trails, and hedgerows framing soils and historic structures of national significance. At its heart is the Town of Coupeville, tucked along the shores of Penn Cove. Ebey’s Reserve is an intricate patchwork of old and new — a community striving to protect its cultural heritage and quality of life while accommodating change. Ebey’s Reserve is managed by a local trust board representing a partnership between the Town of Coupeville, Island County, WA State Parks, and the National Park Service.

Whether you are a local resident, visitor, or striving to make a difference in your own community, we hope this event provides tangible tools, inspiration and fun! The 2nd Ebey’s Forever Conference & Community Event features a new slate of behind-the-scenes field trips, hands-on workshops, music and a taste of Ebey’s — hosted by leading voices in agriculture, historic preservation and sustainability.
