- Features Protected: Located near Bellingham, this 138-acre site has exceptional biological diversity, ranging from bogs and wetlands-including a large and very active beaver pond-to hardwood thickets and mixed conifer forests of Douglas-fir, western redcedar and western hemlock, some with old growth characteristics. Most conifer stands on the site originated around 1840. A few remnant large Douglas-fir trees are hundreds of years old. These trees, along with charcoaled snags and stumps scattered within the area, offer clues about the cultural and fire history in the area.
The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
Ecclesiastes 1:6 KJV
