Northwest Stream Center (Winter Scenes)

(From Adopt A Stream Foundation and Northwest Stream Center) "The Northwest Stream Center is an environmental learning facility in South Everett located just east of Interstate 5 in Snohomish County's McCollum Park. The Center includes a 1/2 mile universally accessible Nature Walk past a Trout Stream Exhibit where you can see trout, crayfish, sculpin and fresh water mussels through viewing windows. The Foundation maintains an incredible Forest and Wetland Trail that winds through 20 acres of habitat, three feet above the forest floor with an opportunity to learn all about NW ecology along the way. The center also features a small Nature Gift Shop, and hosts environmental education classes conducted by adjunct professors year round. Tours and private facility rentals are available by reservation." (Editor note: The center is always looking for volunteers!)
