As I have written before in this blog, good does happen, especially when it is by design. Good just happened in Bothell, Washington where a 35-acre parcel of mature forest was purchased by the City for parkland/green space. This was a triple-win: The City of Bothell, The Boy Scouts, and the Friends of North Creek Forest all benefited from this deal. But the people who live in the area stand to benefit the most by having this wonderful natural area protected for its recreational, educational and habitat values in the midst of a rapidly-developing urban area. To top it off there was excellent media coverage of the forest purchase. Read on and smile; sometimes people come together to make the world a better place:
