SUMMARY:Tour 1: Road Walk\, Roll\, and Stroll Tour @ Governors Point
DESCRIPTION:Just south of Bellingham\, where the forests of Chuckanut Mountain meet the Salish Sea\, lies one of the most extraordinary pieces of land in Whatcom County. Governors Point is a 98-acre coastal peninsula with nearly 9\,500 feet of marine shoreline along Chuckanut\, Pleasant\, and Samish Bays—and for decades\, many of us have admired it from the water or glimpsed it from the road. \nNow\, thanks to years of community commitment and advocacy\, and a remarkable donation from landowner Randy Bishop\, those 98 acres are protected forever as a future nature reserve. This is one of the last remaining undeveloped coastal forest habitats on the Salish Sea. \nThis summer\, we’re excited to invite the public for guided tours to preview the Governors Point trail before public access is established. Whether you come for the birds\, the beaches\, the sunset\, or simply to be among the first to walk these trails\, we hope you’ll join us! Governors Point is not currently open to the public outside of guided tours. \n  \nTour 1 \nThis tour is level\, wide\, and smooth\, making it perfect for wheelchairs\, walking with poles\, or pushing a stroller. We’ll meet at the entrance\, then drive in and park along the road for a one-mile out-and-back stroll through this stunning coastal landscape. Shorter distances are absolutely welcome. Led by Outreach and Events Coordinator Kendra Schmiedeskamp. \n  \nRegister: Here \nAfter registering\, you’ll receive a confirmation email with a link to our waiver form and directions to our meeting point. \nTo give the maximum number of people a chance to attend\, please sign up for one session only. \n  \nWhat to bring: Water bottle\, backpack\, and a snack. \nPlease note there are no bathroom facilities at Governors Point. \n  \nLearn more about Governors Point: Watch Video \n \n
