Lake Whatcom Forest Management Plan Public Meeting
May 8 (Thursday) , 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Help shape the future of Lake Whatcom’s forests!
Do you care about clean water, healthy forests, and recreation in the Lake Whatcom watershed? Now’s your chance to let us know. Whatcom County and the City of Bellingham are teaming up with ecological forestry experts to create our first-ever Lake Whatcom Forest Management Plan. This plan will guide how we care for more than 13,000 acres of forested land, including parks and protected properties, while meeting our goals of protecting water quality, boosting forest health, and increasing resilience to climate change, wildfire, and disease.
We want to hear from you! Join us for an in-person community meeting on Thursday, May 8 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in the cafeteria of the Silver Beach Elementary School (4101 Academy Street) to learn more, share your goals for Lake Whatcom’s forests, and ask questions. Can’t attend in person? No problem! Let us know your thoughts online on our Engage Bellingham page.
