Conservation Event - Please join us for the next conservation event coming up soon! Carkeek Park is in our Haller Lake neighborhood and needs volunteers for their monthly work party. We will be doing trail work to protect habitat from erosion.Come ready to shovel dirt, improve trails, protect watershed. 

Piper’s Creek runs through Carkeek and empties into Puget Sound at a mixed sandy, rocky beach. The creek hosts a very small run of chum salmon. Near the mouth there is often good sea-run cutthroat fishing. Park volunteers maintain a demonstration salmon program that helps to educate the public on salmon, water quality, and watershed issues.

This work party is organized by Carkeek STARS (Streams, Trails, and Reforestation Stewards) - part of the Carkeek Watershed Community Action Project. Please respond to this email by saying you will attend and use the "Join This Event" which you will find here. Registrants will receive 5 free raffle tickets redeemable at the NFA monthly meeting.

What to Bring

Gloves and water will be provided, but we encourage you to bring your own bottle of water, to reduce plastic waste. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather.
