​Friends of North Creek Forest Mission Statement:
To maintain and improve the ecological function of North Creek Forest ​through Education, Stewardship and Conservation in perpetuity.

Thank you to the HDR Foundation for the generous contribution to Friends of North Creek Forest and to the HDR employees who came out in October 2019 to help us build the stream crossings! It was pouring rain, wet, muddy and cold, but everyone worked really hard. They carried heavy 4x6's on steep terrains in the forest, and installed the two crossings. These crossings will provide safety to trail users, kids, and our volunteers when they visit our forest. We plan on installing rest of the crossings this winter.

​HNTB employees help clean up North Creek Forest

A team from the Bellevue office of engineering and architecture firm HNTB recently volunteered to battle invasive blackberries in the 64-acre North Creek Forest in Bothell.

Working with nonprofit Friends of North Creek Forest, the team removed a dumpster full of unwanted plant material in less than two and a half hours!

North Creek Forest is within walking distance of nearly 10,000 college students attending University of Washington Bothell and Cascadia College. It includes nine wetlands and seven streams that filter water and protect habitat for endangered salmon living nearby. The forest is home to more than 100 plant species and a diverse array of wildlife.
