About Stillwaters
Stillwaters is an environmental science and education center in the Carpenter Creek watershed of Kingston, WA, on the shores of Puget Sound.
The Stillwaters wetlands are part of a larger system that includes forested, freshwater and emergent salt marsh communities. The salt marsh is part of the Apple Tree Cove Estuarine wetland system, which flows into Puget Sound. Carpenter Lake is just upstream from here, and we are part of the Carpenter Creek riparian zone.
Community citizens are joined by interns and graduate students from local universities in conducting field research and in monitoring and preserving the estuary, salt marsh, and the watershed. We are a volunteer-driven non-profit that welcomes new volunteers!
We use our field preservation and research work as a basis for community education, as well. We believe strongly in the need for community-building and creation of a sense of place for every person, wherever they live.
