#Bellingham, #Washington, #USA: I am beyond sad that the #CITYOFBELLINGHAM disregards their portions of a SMALL RARE #greenbelt that would be EASY to protect😣. "No Trespassing" signs are needed. Enforcement of Bellingham Municipal Codes is needed. #Ivy, #clematis and other serious #invasives need to be removed during #WINTER so as not to hurt #cottontails, #blacktaileddeer, #squirrels, #raccoons and #birds while they are #nesting. πŸ†˜οΈ https://www.planetmanners.net/2020/01/bellingham-wa-quick-wetland-views-from.html
