Our Commitment to Sustainability

 A new Endeavor
There is a new movement afoot in Whatcom County. It is the Whatcom Sustainable Recreation group. We are a part of creating a standard for events in our region.

Course
In order to aim for a Leave No Trace goal, we mark the course with signs that have been reused year after year. These signs are removed from the course as soon as possible. In some instances, we do use chalk to mark the paths through Lake Padden and Fairhaven Park- but this is biodegradable material that washes away with the first rains.



Towards Zero Waste

In 2008 we signed up for the Sustainable Connections new program, Towards Zero Waste, to help us with our event waste management. Working with Sanitary Service Company we were able to segment our recyclables and trash into the appropriate bins, thereby reducing our effect on the planet.
