On August 28th, about 50 people gathered on a beautiful summer morning at the Fidalgo Bay Resort to dedicate 15 Trail Tales and 2 DNR Aquatic Reserve Program interpretive along the Tommy Thompson Trail between 34th Street and March Point. Betty Carteret, Friends of Skagit Beaches President, thanked Gary Robinson, Director of the Anacortes Park & Recreation Department, for their support with the siting and installation of the new signs. Washington State Legislature Representative Kris Lytton joined Anacortes Mayor Dean Maxwell and Samish Indian Nation Tribal Council member Dave Blackington in cutting the ribbon officially dedicating the signs.
The WA Department of Natural Resources also delivered two new signs to be installed alongside the other Trail Tales signs. One sign highlights the Fidalgo Bay Aquatic Reserve and the second sign provides information about the shoreline restoration project on March Point that was completed to restore forage fish spawning habitat. The location of these signs as well as the other 15 Trail Tales signs are shown on a new Trail Tales map brochure HERE.
