Kitsap County hosted a ribbon-cutting at the Wildcat Lake County Park Picnic Shelter on June 21 to celebrate the completion of the new structure. Kitsap County Commissioner Rob Gelder, along with Katherine Adams of the Kitsap Tri Babes, welcomed the newest improvements to the 11-acre Wildcat Lake Park, located at 9245 Holly Road NW in Central Kitsap. This picnic shelter project was a collaborative effort with community partners including the Kitsap County Parks Department, the Tri Turtle Babes (a women's group that trains for triathlons), the U.S. Navy and the Northwest Laborers-Employers Training Trust team.
The new shelter is 36 feet x 30 feet in size and includes picnic tables, large barbeque grill, and amazing views of Wildcat Lake. The shelter will be available for public use, seasonally, as a location for neighborhood meetings, summer camps, birthday parties, family events and community gatherings.
Forest Stewardship Planning is well underway for Coulter Creek Heritage Park. This is a 1200 acre park west of Port Orchard bordered by SW Lake Flora Road and Sunnyslope Road SW. This plan includes an assessment of the tree data that was collected and provides science-based recommendations for the ecological restoration of this forested park.
The goals are to enhance forest tree health, promote greater plant diversity and improve wildlife habitat. Everyone is encouraged to read the draft plan and provide comments via email to Arno Bergstrom, Kitsap County Community Forester at Abergstr@co.kitsap.wa.us.
Check out the Forest Stewardship Plan and make sure to visit the Kitsap County Community Forester page for more information.
