Make a Difference Day and Arbor Day 2025 Work Party

Celebrate Make A Difference Day and Arbor Day with the City of Bellingham and Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association (NSEA) as we care for 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. 

All ages, abilities, and experience levels welcome. Unaccompanied youth under age 18 must provide a City & NSEA Youth Liability Release Form signed by their legal guardian. Participants under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. This event will conclude with some brief closing remarks and free pizza. We will also be giving away free tree saplings to participants in celebration of Arbor Day!

• You need: Weather-appropriate clothing, long pants, closed-toe shoes, and a full water bottle.
• We provide: Tools, gloves, instruction, and light refreshments, including free Tony’s coffee and free pizza from Pizza Time and Zeeks Pizza, all generously donated for this event. You can also take a free tree sapling home with you.

Additional information will be emailed to registered participants. Register early, space is limited! If you sign up, please show up!
