Whatcom County’s newest saltwater park was made possible with the help of the department of Ecology. With a grant from the Ecology, Whatcom Land Trust purchased 48 acres of surplus waterfront property from BC Hydro and traded it to The Trillium Corporation for 54 acres of forested wetlands and 1,900 feet of saltwater beach. The new park is open to the public and features a wetland walking trail and beach access to over 2 ½ miles of wild Georgia Strait shoreline.

Home, after all, is the place where finally we make our living. It is the place for which we take responsibility, the place we try to sustain so we can pass on what is best in it, and in ourselves, to our children. — William Cronon
