Orca Recovery Day
Volunteer for Orca Recovery Day! Orca Recovery Day is a regional day of action that aims to improve conditions for the critically endangered Southern Resident orca whales. To support their recovery, we can volunteer to restore habitat for their food source, Chinook salmon. Learn more about Orca Recovery at betterground.org.
Join Whatcom Land Trust, Whatcom Conservation District, and Nooksack Salmon Enhancement Association on October 17th at Lower Kenney Creek to get native plants in the ground to help build a riparian buffer — trees and shrubs situated along the bank of lakes, rivers, and streams — to keep the creek cold, clean, and clear enough to support healthy salmon populations.
As we work, the care we bring to this creek becomes part of a larger, region-wide effort to restore the food source Southern Resident orcas depend on. Once we’ve planted the area, we’ll mulch the plants and remove invasive species that might hinder their growth.
