Our Vision Our goal is to stabilize and preserve this beautiful island, not only for the people that once lived there, but also for the wildlife that thrives there still. With modern tools and techniques, this fragile ecosystem can be saved from ultimate destruction. Your job is to care. The Holland Island Preservation Foundation was founded in 1995 by Stephen L. White. As a former waterman and Methodist minister who has seen the island's changes since 1951, he decided to take action.
All donations are tax deductable.
Each year more and more of the trees fall and valuable wetlands are lost. The shoreline shrinks and the silt and sand that erodes from the island buries submerged aquatic vegetation and shellfish beds. We intend to save the island, save the trees and wildlife and the cemetaries. We intend to halt the silting over of precious plants and animals and restore this historic treasure. We need your financial support.
