November 20, 2016 by Todd Elsworth Leave a Comment

We are excited to be venturing southbound to the Emerald City on Tuesday, November 22nd. Recreation Northwest staff, myself* and April Claxton, will be meeting with Patagonia Seattle staff and be onsite all day to chat with the public about our programs, projects and events.

Please stop by the store and our table to learn what’s cookin’!

Why is Recreation Northwest going to be at the Patagonia Seattle store?

In 2015, Recreation Northwest received a grant from the Patagonia Foundation’s Environmental Grants team for our Fairhaven Park Stewardship work. We’ve been invited to come down and share what we’ve accomplished.

An Excerpt from our Patagonia Grant proposal for Fairhaven Park

The project includes partnering with community organizations and volunteers to build proper trails connecting Fairhaven Park to the Chuckanut Community Forest, restoring damaged wetlands, improving access to the Forest and engaging neighborhood youth in the process.

The goals of this stewardship project are to protect 3.5 acres of wetland through the design and build of a 1,000 lineal foot trail and to eliminate human traffic through sensitive ecological areas allowing for better public access and for the wetland to once again function in its natural state.

For an update on the Fairhaven Park Trail project status, read my October 2016 – Fairhaven Park Trail and Boardwalk Update.

We’ll also be sharing our plans to launch our new Parkscriptions program out of our home-base in Whatcom County- up in the fourth corner of the great state of Washington.
