In her latest work, Professor Minda Martin juxtaposes feelings of love and loss for old growth forests.

"You could see and hear that it was a forest that was struggling with climate change," she said. "It drew me into knowing that this was something we may very well lose in our lifetimes or in our kids’ lifetimes. And the two reasons will be climate change and resource extraction."

What happens when beavers move onto a college campus?

For UW Bothell alumnus Dashiell “Dash” Paulson, that question became a capstone research project in our restored campus wetland and helped shape what came next. Today, he works as a wetland scientist.

His research is at the center of “Betting on the Beavers,” a new documentary exploring how beavers can improve water quality, reduce flooding and create habitat for wildlife.

Join us Sept. 23 at UW Bothell for the premiere and see where curiosity and hands-on learning can lead.

The event is free, but registration is required: https://bit.ly/4cpOCsj

“Faculty, students, staff and administrators take great pride in our campus, and its sustainability story is told often,” said Dr. Santiago Lopez, professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences. “One feature of that story, however, had not been fully explored: the restored wetland’s role in mitigating the urban heat island effect.”

The North Creek Wetland, as it turns out, is a valued piece of climate-adaptation infrastructure. Learn more: https://www.uwb.edu/news/2026/08/07/north-creek-wetland-a-valued-piece-of-climate-adaptation-infrastructure
