Whatcom County has submitted an application on behalf of the Stewart Mountain Community Forest Phase I and the Acme Floodplain projects in a combined application entitled South Fork Nooksack River Intergrated Floodplain Reconnection. This application, if funded will provided $3.7 million in reimbursement funds for the purchase of these two properties.
