Introductory Plant Walks: Native Plants at the Stimpson Family Nature Reserve

Join our fun, informal introductory native plant walks and get familiar with plants native to Whatcom County. Sponsored by the Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society (WNPS), these introductory plant identification walks feature an easy pace and will each last about two hours. 

All walks are free and no registration is required, just show up at the meeting spot. Enjoy an early evening walk investigating native plants in a wild area just outside the city. We will explore a portion of this area of forest and wetlands, and learn about the plants, their names, and uses in native Salish traditions. 

The walk will be led by anthropologist Allan Richardson, co-author of Nooksack Place Names.

Starts: April 16, 2024

Time: 5 - 7 p.m.

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
