Upcoming parks volunteer opportunities
It’s park and trail work season! We have a few volunteer opportunities coming up at parks across Bellingham this fall, ranging from trail work at the Bay to Baker Trail to cleaning sculptures at Big Rock Garden Park. Then, on Nov. 7, we’re teaming up with Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association ( NSEA ) to care for Cornwall Memorial Park for Make a Difference Day and Arbor Day . We’ll plant native trees and shrubs and remove invasive weeds near Squalicum Creek to improve water quality, recover downstream salmon habitat, and restore our urban forest and understory habitat for wildlife. This work will build on urban forest restoration efforts in Cornwall Memorial Park.
