Our Focus for Tree Protection Projects in Whatcom County:

Protecting mature trees and forests to boost climate resiliency, health, and biodiversity in…

key watersheds (Lake Whatcom, Padden, Samish, Nooksack) for water quality, salmon, habitat, etc.

urban settings to reduce extreme heat impacts & floods/runoff, enhance livability, improve air quality, etc.

other public or private parcels with at-risk trees due to non-native climbing plants such as English ivy.
