Volunteer with Whatcom Land Trust and Growing Veterans for Make a Difference Day at Cloud Mountain Farm. 🌱 🚜 🧤 🌳

Make a Difference Day is a national day of service that brings people together to give back to their communities. At Cloud Mountain Farm, volunteers will help steward the salmon-bearing streams that run through this amazing farmland, working alongside Growing Veterans to remove invasive blackberry from the land near the stream, which will help stabilize the banks and filter water. This work will ensure the area is in great shape as the farm transitions to its future owners.

Registration is required. To sign up, use the comments.

Another amazing Field Friday in the books, and this one at Spruce Roost brought the rain! 🌧️ The crew worked through about three hours of it, cutting in a trail so Land Trust staff and volunteers can more easily reach and care for this land. Luckily, the rain let up just in time for a riverside lunch.

Along the way, we sat under giant cottonwoods and spruces, spotted two eagles, and found the largest artist’s conch any of us had ever seen. 🍄 Two geologists on the team taught us about the rocks on the riverbed, and we celebrated two volunteers in their birthday weeks. Thank you all for working so hard in the rain! 💚

Sign up for our next Field Friday in November on our website!

This Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we’re honored to share the work happening at Todd Creek. We’re grateful to collaborate with the Nooksack Indian Tribe Communications Page and practice co-stewardship at Todd Creek and the First Foods Garden, where Trevor Delgado, Tribal Historic Preservation Officer for the Nooksack Indian Tribe, is bringing cultural burning back to help first foods like camas and chocolate lily thrive.

🍄 Mushroom season is here!

With the fall rains back, mushrooms are popping up across Whatcom County. But what you see is only a small part of the story. A mushroom is the fruiting body of a much larger fungus that lives underground as a web of tiny threads called mycelium.

Those threads do a lot of quiet work. Many fungi partner with tree roots, helping trees take up water and nutrients in exchange for sugars. Others break down fallen logs and leaves, returning nutrients to the soil so new life can grow.

Healthy forests depend on healthy fungi, and protected lands give these hidden networks room to thrive. 🌿

Twenty-seven amazing volunteers joined us on National Public Lands Day at Lake Whatcom Park to remove invasive ivy. Everyone spent the morning in dappled forest light cutting it back from trees and pulling it from the ground.

Ivy can blanket large patches of the forest floor, shading out other plants. It can even climb to cover an entire tree in as little as five years, and the extra weight up top, combined with the constriction around the trunk, can weaken a tree and make it more likely to fall in high winds.

This park is home to some beautiful trees, and we’re so grateful to care for them together with Whatcom Million Trees Project Whatcom County Parks and Recreation so they’re still standing years from now. 🌿

What better way to celebrate public lands than spending the morning caring for them together? Thank you! 💚

We are looking for a few new faces to join Whatcom Land Trust's Board of Directors! 🌲

The Board provides organizational oversight and strategic planning to ensure Whatcom Land Trust fulfills its mission of conserving, restoring, and caring for wildlife habitat, waters, farmlands, and forests in Whatcom County forever.

Members serve the organization in many different ways, depending upon the skills, resources, and available time they bring to their service. They are devoted to the mission, passionate about the work, and have time to apply toward its governance and goals. 🤝

If this sounds like it could be you, RSVP for our open house on October 8th from 6 - 7 p.m. to learn more about the Land Trust, our board's roles and responsibilities, and what it means to serve as a board member. We would love to get to know you better! See the link in the comments. 👇

Join us THIS Saturday at Catalyst Corridor to help restore a habitat that’s been years in the making.

After years of restoration work, the corridor is beginning to develop into a healthy and resilient ecosystem, and we need your help to keep it headed in that direction! Join the Land Trust and NSEA - Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association to help protect this vital habitat by removing invasive blackberry, which is overtaking previous plantings of native trees and shrubs.

We can’t wait to see you out on the land!
