Join the City of Bellingham and the Nooksack Salmon
Enhancement Association (NSEA) as we care for a
beloved local park at our annual Make a Difference Day
and Arbor Day community work party. Join us at:
Whatcom Falls Park

Together, we will plant native trees and shrubs and
remove invasive weeds along Whatcom Creek to improve
water quality, recover downstream salmon habitat, and
restore our forests for wildlife.
Tools, gloves, instruction, coffee, snacks, and FREE bike
valet are provided. All ages and abilities are welcome.
No previous volunteer experience necessary.
Space in this work party is limited! Please register in

MAKE A DIFFERENCE DAY & ARBOR DAY
COMMUNITY WORK PARTY
Stewardship in Your Backyard
If you can't join our work party, you can still be
a part of this national day of helping others by
creating wildlife habitat in your own backyard
or neighborhood. Enhancing habitat attracts
birds, butterflies, and other pollinators,
beautifies our neighborhoods, and improves
air and water quality, which benefits everyone
in our community.
Visit our Backyard Habitat Restoration and
Manage Weeds Naturally webpages for tips
and ideas on how you can safely remove
invasive species, plant native trees and shrubs,
and improve soil and water quality, all while
having fun with your family and neighbors.
These resources were compiled by City
biologists and weed management experts to
help your backyard stewardship efforts succeed.
