    The Wenke property is typical of many in central Whatcom County - a mostly flat to rolling property with single family home surrounded by second growth forest.  The forest is predominantly Douglas fir, Western Red Cedar, Red Alder and Big Leaf Maple.  The property also has a small pond and a seasonal stream.  The property has been designated as good woodland wildlife habitat.  Deer, weasel and other small animals as well as numerous bird species are found on the property.

     The Whatcom Land Trust and the property owner recognize the importance of these smaller parcels of land to the wildlife that live in rural Whatcom County.  While not yet an island of forest among dense housing the easement permanently protects the character of this property.  There is no public access to the property.
