The Northwest Stream Center’s director Tom Murdoch (left) explains the nature of wetlands to Jennifer Gresham (right) and Nick Dzubinski (center,) both of Everett on Saturday, April 3. The 20-acre forest and wetlands are within urban McCollum Park in south Everett. The center’s featured attraction through April is a large expanse of the first spring flower of the Pacific Northwest, the skunk cabbage, which is now blooming (yellow flowers in the background). It takes reservations for tour times at www.streamkeeper.org. A half-mile long elevated, universally accessible walkway allows visitors to wander through the Stream Center while learning about the interconnection between forests, wetlands, streams, wildlife and people.
