- Ellsworth Creek Natural Resources Conservation Area (dnr.wa.gov)
This 557 acre NRCA is composed of a diverse forest community that ranges in age from young to old growth (more than 200 years old) stands. The site contains portions of Elkhorn Creek and Smith Creek and is dominated by western redcedar, western hemlock, and Sitka spruce. In portions of the site, very large (up to 8 feet in diameter) western redcedar and Sitka spruce are common. The old growth forests of this site and an adjacent privately owned preserve have some of the highest diversity of amphibians of any location in Washington. The preserve also provides important breeding habitat for the federally threatened marbled murrelet. Natural forests, like those at Ellsworth Creek NRCA, are extremely rare in Willapa Hills of southwest Washington.
- James A. Garfield (Wikipedia)
James Abram Garfield (November 19, 1831 – September 19, 1881) was an American politician who served as the 20th president of the United States from March 1881 until his death in September that year; he was assassinated in July. A preacher, lawyer, and Civil War general, Garfield served nine terms in the United States House of Representatives and is the only sitting member of the House to be elected president. Before his candidacy for the presidency, he had been elected to the U.S. Senate by the Ohio General Assembly—a position he declined when he became president-elect.
