Whatcom Land Trust

Whatcom Land Trust works to protect land by securing interests, steward the properties under our care, and engage the community in the process. WLT works with willing landowners who wish to preserve natural features in our landscape.  While some preserved properties are open for passive recreational use, most WLT-preserved acreage is set aside as wildlife sanctuary.

The mission of the Whatcom Land Trust is to preserve and protect wildlife habitat, scenic, agricultural and open space lands in Whatcom County for future generations by securing interests in land and promoting land stewardship. We strive to protect natural assets that promote the well-being of all the county’s inhabitants.

Preserving the extraordinary natural features that provide the quality of life we cherish–exceptional food, water, recreation and livelihood–requires active choices and enduring resolve. WLT, with the help of landowners, donors and partners, has chosen to ensure that Whatcom County’s unique legacy remains for future generations.
