Trip
Day Hike - Evans Creek Preserve
The Evans Creek Preserve has everything from open, often sunny, wetlands to mossy old trees, an urban rainforest environment. We'll be looking at the many mosses and lichens and exploring this ecologically diverse area....very slowly! The plan is for a 3-4 hour trip, according to group interest.

The Evans Creek Preserve has multiple trails and environments to explore. This is a Naturalist trip, so be prepared to participate in noticing and identifying lichens, mosses and more, in addition to just enjoying the scenery. Bring a loupe if you have one (and extras will be available). The Washington Trails Association has an excellent description and driving directions , well worth looking at. The city of Sammamish also provides a lot of information.
