Surfriders Earth Day Work Party at

FUN at
The City of Bellingham hopes the Northwest Straits Chapter will adopt a special
landscape project at the Farm, such as creation of an "Old Chuckanut" landscape on the
public. Check out the new fire pit.
Tim Wahl will be available at 2:00 PM for a historical overview of the Farm and
the changing landscape of the Chuckanut's "Costa
Firme", as an early Spanish sketch map labels
the mountain shoreline.
Main
Jobs:
- Light duty ivy and blackberry decimation. Others have done the hard stuff.
- Look for ancient artifacts
while keeping the boathouse midden ivy free.
(But you can't keep them!)
- Hike around and remove survey
flagging. For the ADD among us: attack the
plastic.
- Hauling and misc. landscape work.
