About Birch Bay- Blaine Thrives. Birch Bay-Blaine Thrives was established in June of 2018. Thrives meets monthly (currently via Zoom) and several focus areas that have emerged from our work together have included:

We Can Do it!
I did this page in March. I saw what we were facing was somewhat like we faced in WW2. The confusion and fear that people in my neighborhood expressed at the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Natural Capital at Birch Bay Natural Capital: Birch Bay has a lot of it, but what is it? We walk along Birch Bay Drive and breathe the fresh air, we see the birds and the trees, we enjoy the sunsets and we marvel at the coming and going of the tides. We marvel at the coming and going of all that surrounds us. We see a guy picking up his dog’s poop and we know he values our natural capital. We see a jogger; we have seen her before, as a little girl at Birch Bay. Now as an adult she stoops to pick up a piece of discarded litter and drop it in a receptacle near the beach. Where did she get the idea to do this? Was it from a lady that walked up and down Birch Bay Drive who used to pick up litter along the beach when the jogger was a child at Birch Bay? Hopefully, we take care of things the best we can and pass it along as well as the responsibilities for taking care of it.
We pay taxes and fees to maintain our natural capital and we pay to improve our access to it. We use our natural capital, and as long as we use it and don’t abuse it, it is ours forever.
We could lose it. We could trade it for jobs, or we could lose it to improper development that does not enhance natural capital, but rather uses it up.——————————

That’s because the virus that causes COVID-19 spreads easily by respiratory droplets. Given the way it is spread, there are only a few things that can slow it:
- Physical distancing – staying at least six feet away from others;
- Isolating and quarantining people who are sick or were in close contact with people who were sick;
- Washing hands frequently and avoiding touching one’s face;
- Frequently sanitizing surfaces and objects that others touch; and
- When in shared or public spaces, wearing a face covering.
