Jeanie Robinson and Emily Sprong from Friends of North Creek Forest provided us with an update on recent developments.

They shared that the City of Bothell has completed the purchase of the final parcel of land, completing the goal of protecting all 64 acres of North Creek Forest! This was truly a grassroots effort – many volunteer hours and contributions have all helped protect a piece of the wild in Bothell!

While the purchase of the final parcel is a tremendous achievement, the work is not done. In fact, in many ways, the most exciting part lies ahead! 2017 will bring a Master Plan for North Creek Forest – an opportunity to synthesize all the data that has been gathered, hear from the community, and create a plan for how to open the forest up to the public while still protecting its valuable habitat and ecosystem functions.

The Rotary Club of Woodinville also made a donation to the Friends of North Creek Forest to allow them to continue with an intern.

Learn more about the forest and everything that is happening from next steps to outdoor classroom activities.

Join Friends of Northcreek Forest to celebrate the final purchase at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony and Breakfast on Friday, April 28. Learn more and RSVP here.
