Coal Creek Natural Area looks a little different today thanks to our Well K.E.P.T. crew! These teens took on a trail relocation project and showed what a motivated team can accomplish.

They spent part of their summer learning natural resource skills and supporting Bellevue Parks while getting hands on with real restoration work. This project improved trail safety and access and gave the crew a chance to explore future career paths in the field.

This work was funded by King Conservation District.
