Rhododendron Preserve Open House November 5, 10 am - 2 pm


The 460-acre Kitsap Rhododendron Preserve, owned and managed by the Mountaineers Foundation, holds unique stands of Puget Lowland forest, thriving salmon streams, and historical buildings.  We invite neighbors, educators, and salmon enthusiasts young and old to tour the property.  We will walk to the salmon streams, view the historical buildings of Hidden Valley, and amble to the Big Tree, an 11-foot diameter Douglas fir tree.  In 2012, we will develop a long-term management plan for the Preserve, including Hidden Valley, and we are interested in your ideas for how the property can be used as an educational resource. Join us for a walk in the woods and some salmon viewing!

What to bring: Rain gear, sturdy shoes, ideas

Where: 3021 Seabeck Highway NW, Bremerton.  From northbound Seabeck Highway, turn left into the Mountaineers Forest Theater parking lot and drive to the end of the parking area at Kitsap Cabin.  Look for signs to the Foundation members offering tours.

RSVP: mindyr@uw.edu (encouraged, but not required!)
