Task Force Co-chair Tex Lewis reenlists Task Force volunteer Zee Zamora at the Clear Creek Saq’ad Interpretive Center.  Volunteers Sally Trask and Betty Fabry were part of the workforce on National Trails Day. Other volunteers were also hard at work pulling out blackberries and scotch broom along the trail. Thanks to all!  Dog owners assemble to begin a clean up of the north valley.
Three cheers for Nicole Ribeiro, Canine Obedience Trainer, who organized this work party and is educating pet owners to pick up after them. Thank you, Nicole!

Meet Clear Creek
In 1993, Paul Brittain, a local businessman, decided something should, something could be done with the Clear Creek corridor and stream. In the middle of Kitsap County’s most rapidly developing commercial area, Silverdale, the stream and its riparian area needed to be preserved for future generations. The beautiful little stream, with its headwaters several miles north of Silverdale, arrives at a pleasant estuary and then drains into Dyes Inlet, part of the Puget Sound. Once meandering through a quiet rural area, the stream was ignored in the boom of retail and commercial development that began in the late 1970’s in Silverdale. Actually, not entirely ignored, at one point there was serious discussion of capturing the stream in almost 2 miles of culverts, to make development easier. Fortunately, that action was not taken but the ensuing retail and commercial development took place with each and every building turning it’s back on the historical little stream instead of taking advantage of it’s natural beauty and heritage.
