This acquisition is located near the urban growth area of Kingston. The site has 14 acres of wetlands along Carpenter Creek, including estuarine salt marsh at the mouth of Carpenter Creek, about 3/4 of a mile west of the ferry landing. The acquisition preserves critical salt marsh habitat and an important salmon and cutthroat trout stream for the community. It would also help create a primary link (including passive trails) to other public lands near, and adjacent to, this site including Carpenter Lake, Nike Site Park, three schools, and Stillwaters Environmental Education Center.
