Short Farm is one of the more popular and interesting local birding spots. It was recently purchased from the Short family by the Port of Port Townsend, a public entity. The Port is currently in a public “visioning process” to determine exactly how the 253-acre property should be managed. The website for that process is here: https://portofpt.com/shorts-family-farm/.

While all the planning meetings are open to the public, only a few are specifically designed to take public comment. The next one is set for Wednesday, May 15. Check the link for more information and times.
