Tours begin at 11:00 AM on both days. 

Alfred Arkley will also offer a docent-led tour of “Treasures From the Trunk” exhibit at the Old City Hall Museum on December 20 at 1:00 pm.

Trail Work Party – October 2

Time for trail maintenance work

Our Fall trail work party scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, — was postponed.  Watch for an email message to advise you of the new date:

This will be more than just a work party – we will be helping at a new county park and trail !  It is near Sudden Valley and is called the Lookout Mountain Preserve Park/Trail. 

Tom Chisholm, our Whatcom County park contact, will be bringing extra gloves, clippers, rakes, etc – but feel free to bring your own if you wish.

This is a fun social time with a by-product of helping to keep our local trails in good shape for walking.

DIRECTIONS:  Travel east on Lakeway Drive and turn right on Lake Louise Road (as if driving to Stimson trail).  Continue on until you see the sign for Gate 9 – the park is just opposite it.  If the parking lot has not been completed, we are to park in the pullouts along Lake Louise Road.  Carpooling would be a good idea.
