The amazing natural features of Lake Forest Park give our city its name, unique character, and high quality of life for all of us. From natural springs and hillside wetlands, streams flow down forested ravines, through yards and parks, into Lake Washington at the heart of our town. The same woodlands and waterways which first brought settlers to Lake Forest Park are what make this a great place to live today. Surrounded on all sides by urban and suburban development, the natural resources of our small city are imperiled and need our care.
Our Mission: to contribute to the well-being of our community by fostering awareness, appreciation and stewardship of our natural environment; and by preserving and enhancing parks and open space.
There are many ways to be involved: Donate today, join a volunteer work party to help remove invasive plants, restore native habitat, build trails, test water quality or watch for salmon, let us know about your projects, ideas or suggestions, email us to receive our eNewsletter, or Join our volunteer Board.

LFP Watershed Maps updated! In our more than two decades of environmental advocacy here in Lake Forest Park, Stewardship Foundation volunteer hours and funding have produced many publications, most notably “A Salmon’s Guide to Lake Forest Park,” which highlights our local streams and wetlands.
This booklet was originally published in 2006 and mailed by the Foundation to every household in LFP. A charming compilation of history and information about why our watersheds are important especially in salmon recovery, the booklet has become a collector’s item! The accompanying map has been updated several times over the years. You may have seen our poster-sized copies of this map at our booth at a local event, or perhaps you have one of the coveted copies. It’s fun to locate your home and see which waterway is nearest to you and how the streams flow into Lake Washington.
We are pleased to announce that thanks to LFPSF Advisory Board Member Doug Mitchell, the maps have been recently updated and are available for you to view or download (click here or Publications from drop down menu above). Doug also spearheaded the creation of an interactive GIS version of the map which can be viewed at GIS Salmons Guide map
