The next chapter of North Creek Forest's story.....
Now that North Creek Forest has been purchased by the City of Bothell, many people are asking what's next?
In 2011, Friends of North Creek Forest made a promise to the City of Bothell to continue our partnership after the entire forest was saved. And while the completed purchase is a tremendous achievement, the work is not done.
In fact, in many ways, the most exciting part lies ahead!
You have the opportunity to be a part of this continued partnership by getting involved and supporting
Forest Education programs that enhance and honor nature relationships, build a healthy forest, and develop a resilient community that can respond and adapt to our changing climate and world.

It meets the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife’s definition of priority habitat and lies within 12 miles of every school in the Northshore School District.

The forest has nine wetlands and seven streams that filter water and protect habitat for endangered salmon living nearby. It is home to over 100 plant species, and a diverse array of wildlife. The forest provides inspiration for art, science and literature across all generations.
