BIPOC Walks: Welcoming Fall at Whatcom Falls

BIPOC Walks is a program by and for people of color to build community while spending time outdoors in Bellingham. We meet in a different accessible park once a month, typically on Saturdays, to get curious about local nature. This program is family-friendly and open to all ages. Outings are always facilitated by people of color, with each month having a slightly different focus/theme. 

In September, we will start our outing with some donuts and potluck snacks (feel free to bring a treat with you to share, but this is completely optional/no-pressure). We will then get curious about how water connects both human cultures and entire ecosystems, and discuss the importance of this creek for Indigenous Peoples in our region since time immemorial. 

We will then look for, and appreciate, the first signs of the shifting seasons, take a stroll along the creek and waterfall, and get curious about the amazing nature thriving in this park thanks to the abundant water.
