Celebrate Earth Week by touring the beautiful and diverse Terrell Creek watershed!
Terrell Creek not only supports local coho and chum salmon populations but also promotes a healthy habitat for wildlife throughout the watershed, including 170 bird species, steelhead, coastal and residential trout, and a diverse selection of Birch Bay shellfish. Since 2002, NSEA has partnered with BP Cherry Point, Whatcom County, Birch Bay Watershed and Aquatic Resources Management (BBWARM) District, Whatcom Conservation District, private landowners, and community groups - such as the Chums of Terrell Creek - to restore stream habitat.
Join NSEA’s instream project manager, Eli DeWitt, on Friday, April 25, from 12–2 PM for a guided tour of our instream channel restoration projects along Terrell Creek. Get an up-close look at this beautiful watershed!

Do you know what salmon need for healthy stream habitat? Salmon need the “three C's” – cold, clean, and clear water! During this workshop, you will discover how to determine if water is healthy for salmon by meeting the bugs that tell the story of the stream – and serve as an important food source for salmon fry. Become a salmon scientist and learn how NSEA educators teach students to test the water quality of local creeks, then draw your own conclusions based on what we find.
Join NSEA’s Education Program Manager, Nathan Zabel, for this workshop on our campus at 3057 E Bakerview Rd, Bellingham, WA, on Thursday, May 15th from 3:30–4:30 PM. Stick around afterward for an exclusive look at NSEA's outdoor classroom, open discussion, and hands-on activities.
This workshop is free and family-friendly! All ages are welcome. Registration is appreciated to let us know you’re coming, but it’s not mandatory to attend.
Love the outdoors and our community? Join NSEA for a community work party and help restore local watersheds! Together, we’ll plant trees, remove invasive weeds, and care for salmon-bearing streams across Whatcom County. We’ll also revisit mature restoration sites to remove cages and blue tubes. No experience needed—all ages are welcome, and we provide the tools and guidance to make a difference for salmon habitat!
View our full work party schedule here - running from now until May 21st , 2025.
