WHATCOM LAND TRUST

Protecting the Nature of Whatcom County

2011–2012

Summer…

Calm as a mirror, Bottiger’s pond spends the summer imperceptibly seeping into the Nooksack through cattails and stands of alder. This mature wetland hosts and supports countless species. WLT’s 2012 purchase places the entire pond under permanent protection.

Autumn…Young Coho salmon spend time in estuaries and brackish sloughs before heading out to sea to mature. Fall Chinook may linger in these waters well into autumn. WLT and Lummi Nation partnered for the seventh time to protect and restore salmon habitat in the Nooksack estuary.

Winter…Bears, cougars, eagles, songbirds, salmon, elk, beavers, bobcats, squirrels, salamanders, sparrows, deer, otters, mergansers, voles, swallows, trout, towhees… WLT expanded the dynamic habitat preserve around Wildcat Creek on the North Fork of the Nooksack by 40% last December.

Spring…The Oregon Spotted Frog is only found in eight locations in Washington, including on one of WLT’s own, acquired last April. Here, at the headwaters of the Samish river, WLT volunteers, under the guidance of Vikki Jackson at Northwest Ecological Services, conducted surveys of the frogs and studied the terrain to ensure that the property is managed to meet the needs of this endangered species.

Habitat protection isn’t just about fascinating or cuddly creatures. Recreational anglers spent $905 million in Washington in 2006. Statewide, wildlife watching provides nearly as many jobs as Boeing. At least 2.8 million people engage in wildlife-related recreation in this state each year.

More than 10,000 streams and rivers empty into Puget Sound, including all of those in the western third of Whatcom County where we live and work. Protecting shorelines from the mountains to the sea contributes to water quality, habitat and access for people.

It’s no mystery why Whatcom County regularly appears on “best places” lists. One reason this is a great place to live is because it’s a great place to play. Feet, wheels, skis and paddles are used on trails and waterways all over the county. WLT is proud to have contributed thousands of acres for your enjoyment.

Whatcom County has the highest agricultural revenues of the 17 western Washington counties. We lead the nation in raspberry production and the state in silage crops. Conservation ensures that agricultural lands will continue to contribute to our local plates and our local economy.

“The natural beauty, clean air and water, and other quality-of-life factors was why we chose to locate the headquarters of the multinational business we created within Whatcom County and they proved to be critical factors in retaining the quality employees that are key to making any business successful.” -Rud Browne, entrepreneurr

Habitat preserves expanded. Restoration of de-graded habitats underway. Children inspired to marvel at the ecosystem they live in. Acres of inva-sive plants replaced with native species. Frogs and birds counted. Tracks and sign observed. A year like many other years at WLT. But of course, this past year was different. With the weight of a stub-born recession behind them, economic concerns elbowed their way to the front of every mind.

Happily, we can report that protecting nature, conserving working land and nurturing dynamic, functioning ecosystems that support diverse species is the best possible response to economic instability.

In this last fiscal year, the progress we made in each of our program areas also contributed to the financial health of Whatcom County:

Habitat: vital to countless species of animals and plants, but also to the 3.1 billion dollars the wild-life recreation business brings into Washington State every year.

Shorelines: The dense vegetation along shore-lines provides a final filtration layer between groundwater and water that is, one way or anoth-er, headed for Puget Sound. Protecting shorelines has obvious ecologic, aesthetic and recreational benefits, but the cost-savings of having cleaner water heading downstream is just as valuable.

Recreation: Trail running, bird watching, moun-tain biking, fly fishing, kayaking, mushroom hunt-ing, stargazing, photographing, snowshoeing… We live here because we love to play outdoors, but our play is also the work of many in Whatcom County—from gear shop owners to guides, recre-ation is big business.

Farmland: Yes, it’s great fun to spend a summer day picking berries with the family then gorg-ing on pie. Tractors are cool and cows are sweet, but it’s also important to remember that sales of Whatcom County agricultural products average $325 million annually. When we protect farm-land we preserve local jobs and businesses.

WLT stewards the lands that define our home physically, ecologically, aesthetically, and economically.
