The Past, Present, and Future of Stewardship at Kukutali Preserve

Join North Cascades Institute to explore the history and management of Kukutali Preserve State Park Heritage Site - the first Tribal State Park in the United States to be co-owned & jointly managed by a federally-recognized tribe and a state government. 

Spanning 83 acres across three islands, Kukutali Preserve includes over two miles of natural shoreline and a mix of upland & marine habitats, supporting bald eagles, deer, coyotes, 50 species of birds, bats, and small amphibians. 

Together we’ll set out onto the trails as we learn about this unique place. Along the way we will engage in hands-on examples of salmon habitat restoration and participate in native plant identification and mapping along the Preserve's trails. Scholarships and Student, Military and Disability discounts are available. Call (360) 854-2599 for more info!

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
