BIPOC Walks: Sensational Salmon

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. Come by yourself, with a friend, or bring the whole family to appreciate spending time outside and connect with new nature-loving friends. 

In November, we will get curious about salmon and the journeys they take to reproduce across tour region. Salmon have been a key resource for indigenous groups in the northwest since time immemorial, and continue to be an important source of nutrients for countless animals and plants alike. We will learn a bit about salmon and their life cycle, then spend most of our time observing the water full of salmon, which also attracts seals and the occasional sea lion, making them easy to observe closely! 

Program is Free/ Pay-What-You-Can, Registration is Required.

        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.
