a cabin stay at Port Gamble, or a kayak tour with catered lunch for 8? These and other exciting auction items can be yours when you attend our Know Your Homewaters Spring Party.

Spend an evening with Meadowbrook's beavers
This free program May 6, 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Meadowbrook Pond offers an up-close look at beavers, information about co-existing with these furry friends in the city, and an opportunity for children to "get inside" beaver adaptations as they don goggles, flippers and a tail during "Living With Beavers." (To volunteer at this fun event, email Jennifer.)
Get ready for new rates with custom postage
Postal rates increase May 11. Homewaters Project has designed two new custom U.S. postage stamps featuring students and adults outdoors. You need new stamps, and Homewaters Project will receive a royalty from every purchase! View all of our designs.
