Have you ever visited Lowell Park near Western Washington University? This hidden gem of a forest is battling an infestation of invasive species like Herb Robert and English Holly. 😨
Thanks to our amazing volunteers at last Saturday’s Community Work Party, we removed 8 cubic yards of invasive species and planted 35 native trees and shrubs! 🌳 This incredible work is a real "root" cause for improving the ecological health of this park, which is loved and used by many. 💚
Want to join us for our next work party? Sign up at volunteerbellingham.org!
Special thanks to Woods Coffee for fueling us with their fantastic coffee! ☕ Our stewardship efforts are made possible by the Greenways Levy. 🌲

We are excited to announce the slide at Fairhaven Park is back and ready for play!
Sometimes collecting parts to repair or replace playground equipment can take a long minute. We hope you agree this new slide was worth the wait!
