This episode features Mike and Julia Bozzo from the Northwest Therapeutic Riding Center, where horse manure is composted in a covered facility. Join us to learn how this compost system is built and operated. Whatcom CD helps plan for manure and composting facilities. In addition to helping size and place a storage unit, we offer grant funding to help offset the costs of building manure storage.
After a night of celebrating independence day, over 60 community members came together on July 5th to clean up debris on Birch Bay beaches this year. Over 4.5 tons of trash remaining from fireworks were removed from the shoreline! This yearly cleanup effort was a success again for the Birch Bay community, thanks to all of the volunteers that worked together to keep the beach beautiful and safe for people and wildlife!
