2009 Bellingham REI Grant Recipients

2009 Recipients


Bellingham Bay Community Boating Center

The Bellingham Bay Community Boating Center will use REI's grant to increases awareness about sea kayaking safety in a cold-water environment and offer a free introductory kayak experience to beginning paddlers. Paddlers will learn about safety through educational seminars and will subsequently have an opportunity to experience an
introductory on-the water kayaking session with an
instructor. REI funding will support project coordination and kayaking instructors.


North Cascades Institute

North Cascades Wild is a free 12-day canoe and camping service work program for underserved, urban youth on remote Ross Lake in the heart of North Cascades National Park. This exciting program combines hands-on stewardship, hiking, paddling, environmental education and leadership in a wilderness environment. Students also participate in pre and post outdoor community service field trips. North Cascades Wild has proven to produce remarkable changes in attitude, awareness and conservation ethics in the youth who participate. REI funding will provide support for project coordination and program leaders.


Pacific Northwest Trail Association

The Pacific Northwest Trail Association (PNTA) will use REI's grant to restore and maintain trails throughout the Mt. Baker Wilderness and National Forest. PNTA will engage youth crew and volunteers from local high schools. These youth will perform trail brushing, tread stabilization, retaining walls, and drainage to improve highly-used trails throughout the area. REI's grant will provide supplies and tools to support the efforts of the volunteer youth crews.
