Rose Foundation Grant Award


We had a visit from Tim Little, Executive Director of the Rose Foundation, and Kevin Hendrick, Foundation Vice President. As we toured North Creek Forest we were told we have again been awarded $10,000 to help us with stewardship. Funding comes through the Foundation's Grass Roots Grant program. This is our second award from this fund and we are very grateful.



Why us?

Earlier this year Kent Parkinson and David Bain show Woodinville Montessori students restoration beginning with a "pot of tree". Kent, is now our Volunteer Coordinator, David,our founding and current Vice President.

Sarah Witte, last years Volunteer Coordinator, prepares a group of students and community members for a day of habitat restoration.

Because of you: a member of our community who cares enough to save and restore this magnificent forest.

Because of you: a student from UW Bothell and Cascadia CC, and other area schools. You are transforming the forest, improving wildlife habitat and creating a groundswell of  public interest to save the entire forest.

Because it is important to engage our community in the protection and restoration of wildlife habitat.

Because it is important to keep key watershed features in place to ensure salmon have a healthy place to spawn.

This convergence of students,teachers and community members is having an effect no single group could hope to accomplish on their own.

Soundview International Baccalaureate Students




Soundview International Baccalaureate School is back - and this time with 45 students, grades 5, 6, 7, and 8 .

On October 25th grades 6 and 8 took their turn at a forest tour. Grades 5 and 7 got right to work, weeding and mulching. When 6th and 8th grades returned they took up blackberry roots, canes and wheelbarrows of mulch.



Horsetails are thinned out to give native grasses a chance to take hold.

Introducing the 2013 - 2014 UW Restoration Ecology Network Team

Ryan Isaacson

Degree Major: Community Psychology with a Minor in Ecological Restoration

"I have served doing ecological restoration before including previous work in North Creek Forest as well as environmental clean-up in the Duwamish river delta. I look forward to facilitating our group’s ecological efforts in North Creek Forest including restoring the forest to a healthy functioning environment and involving the community at large in our restoration endeavor.

Spencer Murray

Degree Major: Environmental Science with a focus on Conservation and Restoration Ecology

"I am a senior at the University of Washington Bothell Campus and I am studying Environmental Science with a focus on Conservation and Restoration Ecology. I served in the United States Navy from 2003 – 2007. I am an avid camper, hiker, and outdoorsman, and I am a fan of the greatest football team ever, the mighty Seattle Seahawks."

Carolyn Stapp

Degree Major: Community Psychology and Environmental Studies

"I will graduate from the University of Washington Bothell in fall 2014 with a double major in Community Psychology and Environmental Studies as well as a minor in Ecological Restoration. I have served as a leader in many environmental groups including the Snohomish County Natural Resources program and volunteer with a local women’s shelter.  My husband, Jake, is also graduating from UW Bothell with a Community Psychology degree. We have a beautiful 6-year old daughter named Ariah who inspires us to make the most of life. My future goals include working with sufferers of PTSD and incorporating encounters in nature as part of the therapeutic process."

Janice Jap

Degree Major: Environmental Science: Restoration, Conservation and Restoration Ecology (CRE)

"I am an international student from Indonesia. I transferred to the University of Washington Bothell campus last fall (2012) to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Environmental Science, focusing on the Conservation and Restoration Ecology pathway. My studies here have challenged me not only to search for knowledge and to learn new skills, but also to put them to good use. I am looking forward to working with everyone involved in restoring North Creek forest.


Sarah Park

"I am a senior at the University of Washington Bothell majoring in Environmental Science with a focus on restoration and conservation. I am also currently an intern at Friends of North Creek Forest tracking amphibians and I plan to work in the field of wildlife conservation after graduation."
