Meet at Hoag’s Pond trail entrance next to the Broad St parking area
Hoag’s Pond is a charming, secluded wetland within a Pacific Coastal Forest that supports an abundance of native plants providing food and shelter for a wide variety of bird life. We will look for ducks, geese, herons, songbirds, and perhaps a painted turtle. The trail around the pond is 0.4 miles. It is narrow but has little to no elevation gain. There are roots and stream crossings making it unsuitable for wheelchairs or strollers. The trail can be muddy so good footwear is encouraged.
Due to limited parking, we are limiting this initial field trip to eight participants. Driving instructions are available on Google Maps: Hoag’s Pond, Bellingham. The main parking strip on Broad Street has room for up to six cars, with one ADA-designated spot. You can also ride your bike or walk to the park via the inter-urban trail.
Time: 9-11am
