Whatcom land trust board statement in opposition of Initiative 2117

Whatcom Land Trust traditionally has not taken a public stand on ballot issues before voters. However, ballot Initiative 2117, which would repeal Washington’s Climate Commitment Act, is so contrary to our mission, so destructive to the natural environment, and so detrimental to the public well-being that the Land Trust board voted unanimously on October 22 to urge our supporters to vote NO on I-2117.

We also request that you spread the word and urge your friends, neighbors, and co-workers to vote against this ill-conceived, harmful initiative.

Whatever your decision, we thank you for your support and look forward to working with you to conserve the nature of Whatcom County.

– Whatcom Land Trust Board of Directors
