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

Celebrate Earth Week: Clean Up LFP

Stewardship Foundation will once again sponsor a park clean up day for Earth Week on Saturday April 19 from 9 am – 2 pm!
Last year, a total of 36 people came out on a beautiful day in Lake Forest Park to celebrate Earth Day, by picking up trash and removing invasive plants in several parks around the Town Center.
We plan to meet at 9:00 am at Whispering Willow Park this year. Please join us for this fulfilling experience of civic engagement and community well-being. Let’s give back and help our natural environments which provide us with so many benefits such as clean air, clean water, and spiritual rejuvenation! Pastries and refreshments will be served.
