Is This Where Puget Sound Starts?

BeaverThree short (4 minute) videos take the viewer on a tour of streams in Kitsap County…streams that are mainly invisible: underground or hidden by trees. Even more importantly, we see interactions between the streams, the ecosystem, and the communities they flow through.

Featured in these three movies are the South Fork of Dogfish Creek, Poulsbo Creek, Chico Creek and the headwaters atop Newberry Hill, and Olalla Creek.

Organizations that helped worked with us to film human interactions with the creeks included Martha and Mary Child Care Center, Klahowya Secondary School, Olalla Elementary, and Kitsap Parks Recreation, and Kitsap Conservation District.

These videos were produced by John F. Williams, Still Hope Productions, with funding from the Puget Sound Partnership and Puget Sound Starts Here.

I found myself excitedly telling my friends about this book, saying: “It’s such a great coffee table book that it almost makes me want to buy a coffee table.” Joking aside, I’ve long been a fan of Sylvia Earle. I even had a chance to sit down and chat with her quite some years ago

Importance of parasites

One of the things that caught my attention about this radio story was that it was aimed at broadening our notions of what an ecosystem is.
