BIPOC Walks: Low-Tide Exploration

BIPOC Walks is a program by and for people of color in Bellingham to build community while spending time outdoors. We meet in a different accessible park once a month to get curious about local nature. This program is family-friendly and open to all ages. Come by yourself, with a friend, or bring the whole family to appreciate spending time outside and connect with new nature-loving friends. Now that summer is here, it’s time to explore the shore! 

In June, July and August we will be exploring during extremely low negative tides, and frequently find hermit crabs, nudibranchs, sea sponges, baby fish, and even water-shooting clams! This area is also a great spot to see the Great Blue Herons who nest in the trees along the shore. Program is Donation-based/Free, but registration is required to get directions to our exact meeting location. You can learn more or register at www.wildwhatcom.org/bipoc-walks

        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.
