“The most important part of participating in natural systems, or more generally, nature, is allowing yourself to feel it, breathe it, to get your feet wet or cold, and then you gain an appreciation for it. You end up building a relationship with your natural world. As you build a relationship with it, you begin to care about it.” -Amy Lambert Board of Directors Friends of North Creek Forest PhD Conservation Biology University of Washington

Education and restoration… …through participation

Habitat for wildlife… …through stewardship.
