Carpenter Creek
Description:
The Carpenter Creek Salt Marsh acquisition is located near the urban growth area of Kingston, Washington. The project includes the acquistion of 14.31 acres of wetlands along Carpenter Creek, including estuarine salt marsh at the mouth of Carpenter Creek near Appletree Cove, approximately 3/4 of a mile west of the ferry landing. The project acquisition would preserve critical salt marsh habitat and an important salmon and cutthroat trout stream for the community. It would also help create a primary link(including passive trails) to other public lands near and adjacent to this site including Carpenter Lake (35 A of parkland, IAC Acq), Nike Site Park(15 acres), three schools (elementary, middle school and high school), and Stillwaters Environmental Education Center (private).
