Short Description of Activity
Our Broadband did a hike at Brightwater Center in Woodinville, WA, from 10 am to noon and then ate lunch at the picnic tables there. Brightwater Center features environmental education programs as well as a community center. The Center brings people together to learn about water, energy and sustainability, and how these issues flow through every community. Folded planes of reclaimed wood embrace flexible teaching and gathering spaces in the Center’s information center where they host an array of programs and events. We hiked one of the Center’s trails and observed the flora and fauna as we walked and talked.
Reflection/Evaluation
This hike was an enjoyable social and educational event for our Broadband. It brought people together during late September when the weather can be bad. Fortunately, we had nice weather that day, and a fun time was had by all.
