- The 1,966-acre Charley Creek NAP is located about seven miles northeast of Enumclaw, in the City of Tacoma’s watershed. The 120- to 155-year-old forests on the site are originated after one or more wildfires and have remained essentially undisturbed. Coniferous forest stands of Douglas-fir, western hemlock, western redcedar, Pacific silver fir, and Sitka spruce cover most of the site, which also includes areas of red alder forest and a 2-acre pond supporting wetland vegetation. For the northern spotted owl, the site provides dispersal habitat for hunting and potential nesting areas.
