Wild Things:Toddler&Family Nature Exploration @ Marine Park

Join us every Friday and Saturday morning from 9:30-11:00am to explore local parks with your little one! Wild Things is a placed-based community program that meets in a different local park each month to see what nature has to offer. We get curious about whatever natural wonders we discover as we move at a toddler’s pace, then wrap up with a “snack and story time”. In June we will be meeting at Marine Park to explore the shore and heron rookery. Best for ages 0-6, older siblings always welcome. We meet year round rain or shine. Registration is encouraged, but not required. Program is donation based/pay-what-you-can

Free Community Clothing Swap! @ IBC

It’s our fifth annual Free Community Clothing Swap! We will have all sizes, genders, ages, seasons, and styles, including shoes, accessories, and outerwear.
Will be taking place Sat. June 15th, 10am-2pm at 2000 W North St in Bellingham.
Clothes can be brought to exchange, but it’s never required. This is a free clothing event, open to all. Last year we served over 300 Whatcom residents in person, and all leftover items went to local assistance groups to helps others free of charge. We had enough clothing for 3000-4000 individuals and hope to clothe even more of our neighbors this year!
This year we’ll have an expanded activity area for kids, refreshments for attendees, and lots of clothing to share. Hope to see you there!

What’s the Point? @ Pt Whitehorn Marine Reserve County Park
Tickets
Jun 22 @ 10:00 am – 2:00 pm
What's the Point? @ Pt Whitehorn Marine Reserve County Park

What’s the Point? Cherry Point! Please come to the Pt Whitehorn Marine Park for Whats the Point, a beach exploration event during a very low tide. It’s a great opportunity to explore this long beach and talk with naturalists who can help you get to know the community of animals and seaweeds that will be exposed and visible. Sandy tidepools, harbor seals relaxing on off-shore rocks, red rock crabs and sea stars hiding under rocks, all waiting for the tide to come back in. The shore of the Cherry Point Aquatic Reserve is an incredibly beautiful and surprising place!

The event runs from 10-2 on Saturday, June 22nd. Low tide is at 12:12: -2.76’. Pam Borso, a member of both the Audubon and Native Plant Societies, will lead a bird and plant walk along the ¾ mile (accessible) trail to the beach beginning at 10:15. She is particularly good at identifying birds by their songs! Doug Clark, geology prof at WWU, will conduct a field tour on the beach at 11:00. Do you know how the beach we see today was formed? Come and find out!

There will be display booths: the Marine Mammal Stranding Network will have pelts of seals and sea lions to touch; kids can learn how watersheds work at the Whatcom Conservation District’s scale model; the Whatcom Marine Resource Committee can tell you about their effort to restore Olympic oysters; the Marine Life Center will regale you with their deep knowledge and excitement about the shoreline and the ocean. Many other organizations with interests in marine lands and issues will also be there.

Signs at Grandview and Jackson Rd will direct you to parking at BP’s lot at 7039 Jackson Rd. Blaine-Birch Bay Parks and Recreation will provide a shuttle from there to the Park, beginning at 9:45. The trail to the beach is packed gravel and accessible by wheelchair, and disabled parking is available at the Park parking lot. Whatcom County Parks does not allow dogs on this beach, so please do leave them at home. And don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen, water and snacks. You may not be ready to leave the beach when your belly tells you it’s lunch time!
