SUMMARY:40th Anniversary Party
DESCRIPTION:Whatcom Land Trust is celebrating our 40th Anniversary this year and we are throwing an anniversary celebration on April 12th at Structures Brewing on Holly St from 5:30 – 8pm! Everyone is welcome to attend for free.\n\nThe evening will include: Live folk music\, Toasts from prominent community members\, a raffle (including merch with our new logo) and birthday cake for everyone!\n\nSince 1984\, Whatcom Land Trust has worked to protect and steward Whatcom County’s special places for future generations of all species. Although thousands of acres have been protected over that time\, the vision has remained the same–to protect Whatcom County’s abundant tapestry of lakes\, rivers\, farms\, forests\, meadows and wetlands\, all of which are vital to our way of life and sense of place.\n\nThere are many wonderful projects to celebrate from the last four decades – Stimpson Family Nature Reserve\, Galbraith Mountain\, Teddy Bear Cove\, Canyon Lake Forest\, Alluvial Farms\, Skookum Creek Reach and part of the Chuckanuts\, to name just a few. After forty years of community conservation\,\nWhatcom Land Trust is still protecting land to ensure healthy forests\, clean cold rivers\, public access\, and healthy habitats and corridors for an abundant diversity of life.\n\nStructures Brewing beer and food will be available for purchase. Attire is casual and an RSVP is not required. Thank you to Structures Brewing for helping us host this awesome event! We can’t wait to see you all there.
