The Northern Light reports that the Blaine-Birch Bay Parks and Recreation District No. 2 has received two grants—a WWRP grant and an ALEA grant—to create a public access site on California Creek. The creek is important wildlife habitat for salmon, shellfish, waterfowl, and shorebirds.
Excerpt:
“BBBPRD2 will be collaborating with the Whatcom Land Trust on the project. According to Ted Morris of the Whatcom Land Trust, the project aims to create a small park in the area, which will include a kayak launch, a restroom, a 20-car parking lot and a half-mile trail. The project would likely be completed in 2021, with construction slated to begin in August or September next year.”
