Join us on Sunday June 2nd for our 16th annual Naked Bike Ride!  

Theme:

The City of Bellingham released a draft Urban Forest Plan* (UFP) on April 15. This pivotal report will guide the City's actions and regulations regarding urban trees for the next 25 years. 

We already see that the City's draft lacks specific provisions to protect existing mature trees -- other than brief mention of an upcoming Landmark Tree Ordinance that will protect only a few hundred largest trees within our city (a tiny portion of our city's overall tree canopy). This omission should concern everyone greatly.

Working with Whatcom Million Trees Project we are riding to spread timely arboreal awareness and conversation within our city-of-great-verdant-potential.

When & where?

We will convene for body painting at 4:00pm, Probably ride at 5:00pm, and dance dance dance upon return.  

We will be meeting Sunday at the Karate Church, AKA Church of Elf Defense @ 519 E. Maple.
