Work with the Bellingham Parks Volunteer Program to complete your Eagle Scout Project!
Scouts interested in improving the natural ecosystem are welcome to complete their project with the support of Bellingham Parks and Recreation. We encourage scouts to chose a project that they are interested in. Examples of past projects include habitat restoration, removal of social trails, improving the landscape of the Arne Hannah Aquatic Center and building bird boxes for nesting. If you are looking for a project contact the Parks Volunteer Coordinator.
