Join us for a work party along the Bay to Baker Trail between I5 and James Street. In partnership with the City of Bellingham, we will be removing invasive species, applying mulch/wood chips, planting native plants, removing litter, and learning best practices for stewardship from 9 am to noon on October 31, 2026.
This work party supports the stewardship and volunteer training grant we received in June from American Trails.
We are looking for about 50 volunteers, so feel free to pass this along to your friends and family to join in on the fun!
Please register with the City of Bellingham’s Parks and Recreation Department here.
