Larissa and Jonathan Ullberg moved to their current farm with big dreams. They wanted property and enough space for their kids to play, to grow their own food, and to be able to raise horses too. However, making their dreams a reality was initially very daunting and overwhelming before they reached out to Whatcom CD for help.

Briana and Joe Peck have lived in Whatcom county for 14 years and in the Salish Breeze neighborhood since 2015. They love their wild neighbors, like herons, gulls, eagles and harbor seals. They also do their part to protect those neighbors by reporting pollution and cleaning up trash along beaches and roadways as Watershed Watchers. 

Community Partnerships Help Osprey Hill Farm Grow Sustainably

After a night of celebrating independence, over 60 community members came together on July 5th to clean up debris on Birch Bay beaches this year. Volunteers picked up 4.83 tons of trash from fireworks that were left on the beach, tidelands and shoreline. That's over 2 full sized dumpsters full of debris!

Deb and Dave Hiller fell in love over beach trash. To some, this might not sound romantic, but when you’re passionate about the place you live and find shared values in protecting that place, it makes for a great love story.
