North Creek Forest : ウィキペディア英語版 | North Creek Forest
The North Creek Forest is located in Bothell, Washington and surrounds a section of the North Creek and encompasses 64 acres of undeveloped mature coniferous forest with multiple wetlands and streams, forming a one mile long and up to 1/3- mile wide habitat corridor extending from Canyon Park Junior High School in the north almost to the North Creek wetlands near the University of Washington Bothell Campus, and eventually links to the Sammamish River in the south. The North Creek Forest is one of the last remaining mature coniferous forests in the Bothell area and filters and cools water from seven streams and nine wetlands as well as countless small springs and seeps, along an entire mile of watershed. Invasive species takeover is a major threat to this riparian forest. An active partnership of restoration and conservation in the North Creek Forest serves to prevent net losses of wetlands, net changes in function, and positive gains in biodiversity and habitat quality. A protected and restored North Creek Forest provides a healthy forested site along the vital Sammamish river habitat corridor within an urban area of constant disturbance and change.〔 In November 2015, the City of Bothell received a Bravo Award, a grant from the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Funding Board, for its efforts to conserve the forest. The grant will enable Bothell to purchase the final 22 acres needed to complete the 64 acre North Creek Forest. ==References==
