Each month for the next six months, excluding July, Whatcom Land Trust will sponsor a tour of property conserved by the land trust, visiting public parks and private lands to observe wildlife and scenic vistas. The tours will stop at the property of local restoration experts, and take a walk along important spawning reaches of the Nooksack River.

Whatcom Land Trust is a local, nonprofit nature conservation organization founded in 1984. Its mission is to help people preserve and protect wildlife habitat, scenic, agricultural and open space lands in Whatcom County.

Whatcom Land Trust now protects over 5,600 acres of land in Whatcom County through donated conservation easements, gifts of land and collaboration with local governments and corporations.

Tours will take place Saturday mornings. Members of Whatcom Land Trust may attend the hikes and tours for free and receive priority when registering. The general public is encouraged to attend the hikes as well, with a $5 donation per person requested.
