Description

The Koma Kulshan Chapter of the Washington Native Plant Society regularly holds field trips and volunteer events in the community; typically free and open to the public! Join us for the first of our 2022 Introductory Plant Walk Series: Hidden Forest Foray Date: Thursday, April 21 Time: 6:00 pm to dusk Location: Meet in the parking area at the top of Arboretum Drive (off Bill McDonald Pkwy) Let's explore the plants of the Sehome Hill Arboretum, a “secret” natural area in the heart of Bellingham, with a guidebook author and former Arboretum board member. Sehome Hill was logged in the early 20th century and is now developing a mature second-growth forest. We’ll look at trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and a vine or two. Learn what’s native and what’s not. 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. People of all ages and experience levels are welcome. Dress for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes that may get wet. Each walk stands alone, or attend them all to get a free mini-course on plant identification. For inquiries and more information about this six-part series, visit our website:
