Join us for an evening with wildlife biologist and nature photographer Greg Green on June 5th from 6–8 PM at the ReStore in Bellingham. 🌿📷
Greg will share how to use patterns and rhythms in nature to capture images that tell a story of the natural world. He's a wildlife biologist and ecology instructor at WWU whose work has appeared in BirdWatching Magazine, Audubon calendars, and earned an Honorable Mention in the National Wildlife Federation's 2025 photo contest.
Attend the Friday evening presentation on its own, or add a Saturday field session at Fenton Nature Reserve — one of Whatcom Land Trust's protected lands — to practice what you've learned in the field. The morning field session is sold out, but we just added an afternoon session on June 6th from 2:30–5:30 PM — spots are limited, so grab yours soon!
🎟️ Tickets are $50 — link in comments.
🌼 Species of the Month: Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)
Every month, we celebrate the abundant diversity of life in Whatcom County by highlighting a species in our "Species of the Month" column. It's a Land Trust fan favorite, and this month we've partnered with local author Jennifer Hahn to learn about dandelions.
You've probably walked past one today, maybe even pulled a few from your garden. But the common dandelion has a lot more going on than one might think.
What looks like a single flower is actually a composite of around 100 tiny blooms, making it an important early-season food source for over 90 species of insects. 🐝
Insects aren't the only ones who rely on dandelions. People have been using them for centuries in many different ways. In this video, Jennifer teaches us how to roast the root to make a rich, earthy tea and how to incorporate it into homemade chocolate truffles.
For the full recipes and so much more, pick up a copy of Jennifer's book, Pacific Harvest: A Northwest Coast Foraging Guide, at your local bookstore.
💚 From small dandelions to ancient conifers, your support helps protect the habitat that all the species we love rely on.
