CARE has a broad and inclusive definition of Stewarship. Basically, we believe it means taking responsibility for ourselves, our neighbors and our community.

CARE and SWAN have taken Adopt A Road responsibility for the section of 164th Ave SE just ‘downstream’ of the Bog. Our section runs from SE 128th St to SR 900. So far, we have had one clean up day – November 1, 2008 – in conjuntion with the replanting along the dredged 164th Ave SE ditch. We will probably have out next clean up day in Summer 2009.
