The Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society regularly hosts educational seminars and field trips, typically free and open to the public. **Registration is required for this event as space is limited.** Visit our calendar listing at the link provided for more information and registration instructions.

Meetup location: We will meet at 9 am at the E side park and ride off Fairhaven Parkway. Visit the link provided for more information.

Squires Lake is a Skagit County park about 8.5 miles south of Bellingham and about a half mile off I-5. We will hike the loop around the east side of the lake, take a brief side trip to see the beaver pond, then continue the loop leading to the Alger Alp trail. Depending on the group, we will go to the top to see views of Alger and the Skagit valley.

Planning ahead: Bring lunch and water. Wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots, and dress for the weather.
