We started the concept of making donations in someone's name for memorials as a tribute to Julian Thomas Stevenson, grandson of Swan Trust board member Douglas Stevenson, who passed away in 2003, with many of Julian's family and friends joining in to create a fund in his name.

Since then many other people have followed suit, sending donations in the name of a loved one, and we have come to better realize how the memorial works as such a wonderful way to preserve the memory of someone who has passed on.

Their name is kept alive in the presence of something profound, a gift for all of us, the beauty of nature for generations beyond to enjoy.

Memorials - Complete list

We are beginning our memorials by honoring each person on our web site with their picture along with statements by family and friends.

When the Baggs land property has been paid off we would like to create a permant outdoor display as the gateway to the Swan Headwaters Preserve.

To participate in our memorial program, simply make a donation with a note specifying the person to be remembered.

Please supply a photo along with biographical information or statements that you would like included in our newsletter or on our web site.
