Lummi Island Wildlife Area Click to Enlarge Lummi Island is a protected reserve for the threatened Peregrine Falcons. Lummi Island Unit The Department purchased approximately 588 acres on Lummi Island in 1991 to preserve a peregrine falcon nesting site. In 1997, an additional 112 acres were bought with assistance from the Trust for Public Lands, the Whatcom County Land Trust and an unnamed donor. The steeply sloped property rises from sea level to over 1,600 feet and remains as an undisturbed reserve to protect these threatened birds and their unique habitat. The Lummi Island Unit is not open and there is no public access.
