Salmon-bearing streams, old-growth cedar, fir, and spruce trees, and untouched Native American archeological sites comprise this heavily forested, 62-acre property. Scientists often bring students to the land to get a closer look at diverse ecosystems in action, such as the lifecycles of salmon and fresh water mussels. Woodpeckers, ducks, river otters, beaver, deer, bobcats, coyotes, raccoons, herons, and other animals also make their homes on the property, which borders land protected by the county. Large corporations continue to stake their claim on the region, but this sanctuary land will remain untouched forever.
