Overview

Formed from land donated by members of the Stimpson Family, Whatcom Land Trust, Whatcom County, and the WA DNR the Stimpson Family Nature Reserve comprises a 350-acre plot of old-growth forest and rich wetland environment. Two loops invite users to slow down and connect with nature as they explore the depressions, ridges, trees, plants, and animals that make this a great hidden gem.
