This month, we will be exploring The Big Rock Garden woods and sculpture park. Located north of Lake Whatcom, this park has mature conifer habitat that houses wrens, chickadees, thrushes, kinglets, and more. The park is located near the railroad trail for convenient access by bike. We will meet on November 12 at 9:30 am at the Big Rock Park parking lot located at 2900 Sylvan Street.
