Earth Day Community Work Party at Sehome Arboretum
Apr 22 , 9:00 am – 12:00 pm
Join the more than 1 billion people worldwide who celebrate Earth Day by joining the City of Bellingham, WWU LEAD, Whatcom Million Trees Project, and Washington Trails Association for a volunteer work party. Together, we will restore habitat in the Sehome Arboretum by planting native trees, removing invasive species, spreading mulch, and more.
