We enjoy being outside. We like giving back.
We have this in common.
Kick off Bellingham Beer Week right and support our new Trail project.
Join Recreation Northwest for Pint Night at Kulshan Brewery.
Friday, September 12th
5:30-9:00pm
Come raise a glass and help build a trail connecting Fairhaven Park and the forest.
Kulshan Brewery will donate $1 for each pint they pour (and you drink).
High Mountain Stringband will be playing at 6:00 pm.
Learn about our Stewardship program and the latest effort to build a proper trail connecting Fairhaven Park to the forest. The current path goes directly through a wetlands area. It needs to be improved for easier access for all types of users—and even more importantly, for the health of the park. To make the project manageable, we are breaking it into phases. This fundraising effort supports Phase One – building a trail in the wetland buffer connecting Fairhaven Park and 18th Street. Before & After below:
Join your friends and enjoy some pints, all the while helping us raise money to improve one of the many trails that makes Bellingham so great for playing outdoors!
