Death and renewal: Whatcom Creek Habitat Restoration



                    Upper Falls, Whatcom Creek, Whatcom Falls Park, Bellingham, WA

Whatcom Creek is the third salmon spawning stream that runs through Bellingham. I promised in my last diary that it would be the last. However, I took so many photos and there was too much stuff. So, here I will describe the creek and its history. The next one will focus on both the primeval timelessness of the creek itself and illustrate how its two fish hatcheries are working to keep this marvelous place for future generations.
