From the Bellingham Parks & Rec Dept:
Note: these work parties have multiple shifts! There are available shifts in both the morning and afternoon on Saturday, March 7th and Saturday, March 14th! You may choose morning (9 a.m. – 12 p.m.), afternoon (1–3 p.m.), or both for either day. 

Parking is a short 10-minute walk down the street from the nursery at the South Bellingham Park and Ride (West). Follow our work party signs and walk to our native plant nursery at 2710 Donovan Ave.

All ages and abilities welcome. Participants under age 16 must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Tools, gloves, and instructions are provided. Please note that bare-root potting is less physically active than our typical work parties, and we recommend warmer layers. As always, please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes.
