Beach cleanup for World Water Day @ Locust Beach

Our March cleanup theme is World Water Day, celebrated every year an annual United Nations Observance on March 22 started in 1993 to celebrate water and raise awareness of the 2 billion people currently living without access to safe water.

Join us on March 22nd from 12-2pm at Locust Beach (3199 Locust Ave, Bellingham). Bagels will be provided be The Bagelry! We provide cleanup supplies, just dress for the weather.

**RSVP at https://p2a.co/QVXwqRy. Not required, but helps us plan! **

Plastic pollution is a concern for water quality and wildlife everywhere, and has even been discovered in drinking water and table salt worldwide. Recent research found that Pacific Ocean juvenile fish have been consuming microplastic particles in their first days of life, with not-yet understood health consequences. This year’s World Water Day is focused on the importance of groundwater. Learn more at www.worldwaterday.org

Thank you for keeping waterways clean!

Wildflowers at Mt. Erie: A Botanical Field Trip @ Mt. Erie Park

oin botanist and naturalist, Jazmen Yoder on a gentle-moderate hike along and around Mount Erie Summit Trail. There are dozens of beautiful, highly photogenic wildflowers you will be delighted to see.

This trail is rated as “challenging” but we will be moving at a slow pace to admire the biodiversity we find. Our plant walks are always full of information – you will learn how about the ecology, ethnobotany, and how to ID several native plants. Along the trail we will taste, smell, and touch the plants we stop to learn about so we will be able to train our brains to remember them in the future.

Our plant walks are the best way to learn a lot about your landscape in a few short hours.
