Living with the Coast Workshop
Saturday, June 28, 2014; 1:00pm - 4:30pm
Blaine Boating Center, Blaine, WA

Shoreline landowners in Whatcom County are invited to attend a FREE workshop on coastal process and shoreline erosion management. A limited number of free site visits by coastal erosion specialists will also be offered to qualifying property owners. During the site visit, you will be provided with specific recommendations regarding management of your shoreline property.

Who should attend?
This workshop is designed specifically for marine shoreline landowners in Whatcom County. If you have a broad beach or low bank and want tips on how to protect your property while promoting healthy marine ecosystems or if you live on a bluff and have experienced erosion, drainage, or vegetation issues and want to find ways to reduce impacts to your property then consider attending this workshop and sign up for a free site visit.

The workshops will consist of a two hour classroom presentation and a beach walk/field trip afterward. Please bring clothing appropriate to the weather and sturdy shoes for the field trip.

This outreach effort is a project of the Northwest Straits Foundation in partnership with the Whatcom County Marine Resource Committees. Funding is provided by the Northwest Straits Commission, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, Sustainable Path Foundation, and the Burning Foundation.

If you have questions about the workshop or the site visit opportunity, please call the Foundation at (360) 733-1725 or email kaufman@nwstraits.org or visit our website at www.nwstraits.org/foundation.
