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. Explore the plants of the Sehome Hill Arboretum, a “secret” natural area in the heart of Bellingham with guidebook author and former Arboretum board member Mark Turner.
Sehome Hill was logged in the early 20th century and is now developing a second-growth forest. We’ll look at trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and a vine or two. Learn what’s native and what’s not. Meet in the parking area at the top of Arboretum Drive (off Bill McDonald Parkway). Photo by Mark Turner.
