​Our grandkids wanted to host a lemonade and muffin stand to raise money for North Creek Forest. They raised $300!!
It was such a pleasure to take a forest walk with them this week. Thank you for all you do to keep the forest and all its creatures (including the human kind), so happy!"

Dear North Creek Forest Neighbors
Friends of North Creek Forest welcomes neighbors to hike through North Creek Forest, the forest in our backyard! The hike is appropriate for adults and children over 5 with a parent who are comfortable walking over uneven ground and climbing over a few branches; it’s a forest after all.
Please meet at Cathy's home for introductions, hear a brief history of North Creek Forest, then walk for about an hour (~1.5 mi.) together through the forest and come back for lunch!

​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.

Friends of North Creek Forest Land Acknowledgement
​
​The 64 acres of North Creek Forest is the ancestral homeland of the Coast Salish people and has been since time immemorial. We respect their sovereignty, support their Treaty rights and access to resources, their right to self-determination, and we honor their sacred spiritual connection with the land and water. These nations include the Snoqualmie Indian Tribe (sdukʷalbixʷ), Tulalip Tribes (dxʷlilap), Stillaguamish Tribe of Indians (stuləgʷabš), and the Duwamish Tribe. We uphold our obligation to these Peoples by maintaining and improving the ecological function of North Creek Forest through education, stewardship, and conservation in perpetuity.

Our BIPoC communities have long suffered injustice in the U.S. As an environmental organization that focuses on education, stewardship, and conservation for all, we at Friends of North Creek Forest recognize that racial, social and economic equity are prerequisites for environmental justice. We must act to undo the systematic racism that has plagued this land for over 400 years. To engage in anti-racist work, our board meetings will include a continuous agenda item of addressing systems of oppression within our organization and stakeholder community.
