Friends of North Creek Forest offers a unique opportunity to remember significant life events in a beautiful and everlasting way.
From the birth of a child to a marriage, anniversary, or death of a loved one,
a Living Tribute captures the moment and preserves cherished thoughts
in a living tree or shrub in North Creek Forest.

Planting of new shrubs and trees will be done in the Spring and Fall under the leadership of FNCF staff. A plaque with the name of your choice will be placed at the shrub or tree.

More information about the person or event may be submitted and will be available for all to read on the FNCF PlantsMap site. This map will also pinpoint where your shrub or tree is located.

FNCF welcomes the dedication of a shrub or tree by an individual or group seeking to remember a person or event with a living memorial.

About Friends of North Creek Forest

FNCF was founded in 2011 as a grassroots, community group, with the ambitious goal of acquiring the privately owned 64 acres of mature forest for public benefit.  Now that the goal of permanently preserving North Creek Forest has been achieved, FNCF is committed to nurturing this stunning gem of biodiversity located right in the heart of Bothell.

​Our “Living Tributes” program is a way to help fund the cost of maintaining this piece of the wild, and help you honor a loved one or remember a significant life event with a beautiful living memorial. ​
