What are your plans for Whatcom Water Week? We kicked things off with a mulch needed boost to a well-traveled local trail, working with 38 fantastic volunteers near Whatcom Creek by Bellingham`s City Hall!
Together, we tackled 5 cubic yards of invasive plants, 1 cubic yard of trash, and spread 8 cubic yards of mulch. This fresh layer of mulch helps nourish the soil, retain moisture, and keep pesky plant invaders like Bindweed (whose roots can stretch 20 feet!) from making a comeback.
Huge thanks to Woods Coffee for keeping us fueled with their fantastic coffee! Our #stewardship efforts are funded by the Greenways Levy—learn more here: cob.org/greenway

Finally, you posted about your volunteer work parties again! Unfortunately, you've posted 2 days before the event which doesn't give many a lot of time to plan and sign up. Hope to see these posts more often, encouraging our community to support the work that is so important for our thriving green spaces. See you Saturday! 😃
