News and Upcoming Events

Homewaters has begun operating as a program of IslandWood!

As of July 1, Homewaters opened a downtown office (see "contact" page) and our staff began work as employees of Bainbridge nonprofit IslandWood. We'll still offer -- in fact, we plan to improve and expand -- the same innovative, high-quality experiential learning prgrams to connect people with the natural world in their home communities. For more info, read the press release or a list of FAQs online.

Homewaters stamps are still available!

We've added two more designs featuring students and adults enjoying Thornton Creek. The high-quality stamps, printed by an approved licensed vendor, ship in slightly more than 24 hours. Homewaters Project receives a small royalty on every purchase.
