Evans Creek Preserve

Evans Creek Preserve is a 179-acre (72 ha) natural area that was donated to the City of Sammamish, Washington, in 2000. The site includes portions of Evans Creek and other water features, wetlands, and meadows, as well as steep terrain. The site provides habitat for black bears, beavers, hawks, deer, and songbirds.[2] There are nurse trees on the site, which are tree stumps that provide nutrients for new trees.[3]
