Homewaters Project joins forces with IslandWood!

After 14 years affiliated with North Seattle Community College, we're thrilled to announce that on July 1 our staff and programs will join renowned Bainbridge nonprofit IslandWood to reach more area students and teachers and help them connect with the natural world. Homewaters will retain the unique urban, local elements of our investigative and experiential offerings. For more info, read the press release or a list of FAQs online.

Homewaters stamps are still available!

We've added two more designs featuring students and adults enjoying Thornton Creek. The high-quality stamps, printed by an approved licensed vendor, ship in slightly more than 24 hours. Homewaters Project receives a small royalty on every purchase.
