- Dailey Prairie Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
This 229-acre site supports a wetland and sphagnum bog situated in a mountainous area near Mt. Baker at an elevation of about 3200 feet. The largest population of several-flowered sedge (a state Sensitive plant) known in Washington is protected at Dailey Prairie. Bog and wetland plants thrive in this lush plant community including bog laurel, leafy aster, marsh violet, woolly sedge, and white marshmarigold. An old growth forest composed of silver fir, mountain hemlock, and Alaska yellow cedar surrounds Dailey Prairie. This outstanding site was identified by the Washington State’s Natural Heritage Program as being one of the highest quality natural wetland systems remaining in the state.
