Earth Day 2000:
Recap!

Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary
is a 50 acre natural drainage site in the urban western portion of Snohomish County in the State of Washington, USA. For many decades simply a neglected swampland, it has now been developed into an exemplary wetland model, the result of an ambitious and foresighted program to help counterbalance the effects of the urbanization and development by streamlining the process that created it.

Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary Park has been developed as a living example to illustrate the need for runoff and erosion control, habitat for wildlife species of all kinds, and a lifetime of environmental education and involvement for all of the people in the communities in its region.

The Friends of Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary is a group of individuals who represent a cross-section of the community of Snohomish County, as well as the entire Puget Sound region, who are dedicated to preserving the health of Narbeck Wetland Sanctuary and promoting the preservation and re-creation of wetlands everywhere. This website will inform you about the many aspects of the concept and the creation of this unique wetland park You will learn about wetlands and why we need them, about the efforts of the Friends of Narbeck to create this particular special Sanctuary, and about the activities which go on here in support of the environment and the enrichment of human knowledge and stewardship.
