You can take action against climate change this Make a Difference Day and Arbor Day by joining the City of Bellingham for a community work party that will help restore riparian vegetation along Padden Creek. The event will take place from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 26 at Fairhaven Park. Volunteers will build upon the work that was started at the City’s Earth Day work party earlier this year by planting native plants in areas where invasive English ivy was removed.
The work party will conclude with free pizza and a message from Bellingham Mayor Kelli Linville. No RSVP is required for this free, family-friendly event. Tools, gloves and instructions will be provided. Volunteers need only bring weather-appropriate clothing, closed-toe shoes and a water bottle.
