For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

- Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area (dnr.wa.gov)
Woodard Bay Natural Resources Conservation Area was designated by the legislature in 1987, one of the first in the state. A wildlife sanctuary that is just minutes from downtown Olympia, this 922-acre site protects habitat ranging from marine shoreline and wetlands to mature second growth forest. The site has a rich and varied human history that includes Native Americans, early settlers to southern Puget Sound and the logging and shellfish industries.
