SUMMARY:Nooksack River Legacy Forest Hike
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that one of the most ecologically important f
 orests in the Nooksack River watershed is currently threatened by logg
 ing?   Join the Legacy Forest Defense Coalition (LFDC), Sierra Club Mt
 . Baker Group, Center for Responsible Forestry (CRF) and Forest Talks 
 & Forest Walks for a hike into this remarkable forest ecosystem. We’
 ll learn more about what makes these forests so ecologically important
 , the threats they currently face, and how community members can help 
 protect them.\r\nWhere: Nooksack River Bald Eagle Viewing Area  Please
  note: This is not the Deming Homestead Eagle Park.\r\n What to Expect
 \r\nDistance: Approximately 3–3.5 miles round-trip Elevation gain: A
 pproximately 350 feet Terrain: On- and off-trail travel with some ligh
 t bushwhacking\r\nAbout the Hike: In Whatcom County, two Washington De
 partment of Natural Resources timber sales—North Fork Start Up and S
 ecretariat—target approximately 170 acres of native legacy forest al
 ong the North Fork of the Nooksack River. These sites contain rare wes
 tern redcedar- and hardwood-dominant legacy forests in a landscape whe
 re much of the low-elevation native forest has already been converted 
 to timber plantations. The proposed sales are also near sensitive ripa
 rian habitat and bald eagle nesting areas along a stretch of the Nooks
 ack well known for eagle viewing. During our walk, we’ll have the op
 portunity to experience these forests firsthand while learning more ab
 out their ecological importance, the proposed timber sales, and ongoin
 g efforts to protect them.\r\n Need a Ride or Have a Seat to Share? Jo
