Chuckanut Bay Shoreline Exploration @ Chuckanut Pocket Estuary

Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society Field Trip:

The north end of Chuckanut Bay has steep south-facing slopes, a marsh behind a gravelly beach ridge, mature second growth forest, and oak tree meadows. This is also an important location in the traditions of the Nooksack Indians and other Coast Salish peoples, as documented in Nooksack Place Names and by five archaeological sites. We will first explore the beach ridge and marsh, then slopes above the mud flats at low tide. Chocolate lily (Fritillaria affinis) and mountain larkspur (Delphinium menzeisii) should be in full bloom. A full plant list is available on the WNPS state website. Meet at the end of Fairhaven Ave in the Chuckanut Village neighborhood of Bellingham. Take Chuckanut Drive less than a mile south of Fairhaven Park to a right turn behind the Chuckanut Bay Gallery to reach Fairhaven Ave. Bring boots or shoes suitable for ankle deep mud, and other shoes for the trail. Contact Allan Richardson at 360-305-5270 or asrichardson5@gmail.com to sign up.

As we move from spring’s rebirth to summer’s welcome warmth, Whatcom Chorale’s final concert of the season celebrates the wellspring of American diversity through beloved songs rooted in our rich musical history. Selections from Randall Thompson’s Frostiana, featuring insightful settings of timeless poetry by Robert Frost; diaspora-themed Irish folk tunes arranged by Alice Parker; homegrown American folk songs; and rousing African-American spirituals round out the program. This varied repertoire features Dongho Lee, Director of Music for St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, as accompanist.
