IslandWood is a non-profit environmental education[1] organization and event venue on Bainbridge Island, WA.
IslandWood hosts weddings, meetings, retreats, and conferences on their 250-acre Bainbridge Island campus & event revenue helps keep their outdoor learning programs financially possible for under-resourced schools in the region.
IslandWood's mission is to provide exceptional learning experiences that inspire lifelong environmental and community stewardship.
Local residents Debbi and Paul Brainerd proposed the idea of building a children's outdoor education center;[4] a subsequent feasibility study showed that half of Puget Sound area students did not receive overnight outdoor education programs.
[7] In 2011, IslandWood was selected to lead the education programs at the Brightwater sewage treatment plant.
