- Columbia Falls Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
This area protects two state-threatened, four sensitive plant species, and the Larch Mountain salamander (a state-threatened species). Basalt cliffs and steep talus slopes make this site nearly inaccessible. The habitat for many of the rare species is very sensitive to disturbance. The 1,234-acre site contains undisturbed natural forest communities and nine plant species which occur only in the Columbia River Gorge.

Vulpecula /vʌlˈpɛkjʊlə/ is a faint constellation in the northern sky. Its name is Latin for “little fox”, although it is commonly known simply as the fox. It was identified in the seventeenth century, and is located in the middle of the Summer Triangle (an asterism consisting of the bright stars Deneb, Vega, and Altair).
