The reports present historical information (including an environmental history) of the Nesset Farm area and include contain maps of the proposed park, farm buildings and Nesset Creek. The reports also include a series of maps and data documenting the South Fork of the Nooksack River.

 

The collection also contains a small number of undated historical photographic negatives and proof sheets of Nesset Farm, area residents and family members. Audio tapes contain oral history interviews with Nesset farm neighbors and family members. VHS tapes contain interviews with family members, Nesset farm neighbors, and Rand Jack, a representative of the Whatcom land Trust. The collection also includes VHS recordings of original and edited versions of the final class presentation.
