Stewardship in Action
This year’s Impact Report reflects a simple but powerful idea: stewardship in action. Every improvement you’ll see in these pages – on the land, in our facilities, and within our programs – was made possible by a community that cares deeply about this place and its purpose.
As I step into my role as executive director, I am honored to join this community. Astoria is more than a destination; it is a shared responsibility. It is land we protect, water we respect, and a space we hold for connection, healing, and belonging. I’ve been inspired by the dedication of our team and the generosity of supporters like you, who make this work not only possible, but enduring.
Over the past year, we’ve invested in both visible improvements and the essential behind-the-scenes work that ensures long-term sustainability – from infrastructure upgrades to ecological stewardship, from expanded wellness offerings to strengthening our organizational foundation. This is what stewardship looks like in practice: thoughtful, ongoing care for both people and place.
Looking ahead, we are building on this momentum with the continuation of Phase II of Astoria Park construction. This next chapter will expand access, deepen impact, and further realize the long-term vision for Astoria. I invite you to visit, tour the site, and spend time with us on the land to see this work firsthand.
Thank you for being part of this effort and for helping shape what Astoria continues to become.
In gratitude,
Quinn McColly
