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.
Native Forest on the Otto Preserve, Lummi Island: Explore the native plants in the forest understory of the beautiful Otto Preserve, land protected and stewarded by the Lummi Island Heritage Trust. Alika Herreshoff will introduce common native trees, shrubs, and flowers, as well as identifying non-native and invasive plants. The walk will take us through varying aspects of the forest and along the edges of a rich wetland ecosystem. Take the Lummi Island Ferry from Gooseberry Point.
