Whatcom Land Trust

Whatcom County has an abundant tapestry of lakes, rivers, farms and forests - all of which are vital to our way of life and sense of place. Whatcom Land Trust is committed to both protecting these special places and ensuring that their abundant diversity of life flourishes. Together with our many community partners we continue to build relationships to protect these rich and vibrant lands for a healthy, thriving Whatcom County for generations to come.

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.
