- Naselle River Wildlife Area Unit (wdfw.wa.gov)
The Naselle River Unit includes the Chetlo Harbor property that is made up of estuarine and marine wetland and freshwater forested wetland on the Naselle River along Willapa Bay. This property is managed to protect declining estuarine and freshwater wetlands, and provide a forested buffer to that habitat in perpetuity for the conservation of wildlife habitat. This protects migratory shorebird and waterfowl habitat along the Pacific Flyway and a nearshore environment that provides juvenile rearing habitat for salmonids and other wildlife. This unit also includes additional property along the Naselle River acquired for the purpose of restoring and conserving coastal shoreline habitat and other natural heritage resources. Recreation opportunities on the unit include hunting and wildlife viewing.

Massachusetts (/ˌmæsəˈtʃuːsɪts/ MASS-ə-CHOO-sits, /-zɪts/ -zits; Massachusett: Muhsachuweesut [məhswatʃəwiːsət]), officially the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, is a state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States. It borders the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Maine to its east, Connecticut and Rhode Island to its south, New Hampshire and Vermont to its north, and New York to its west. Massachusetts is the sixth smallest state by land area, but with over 7 million residents, it is the most populous state in New England, the 15th most populous in the country, and the third most densely populated, after New Jersey and Rhode Island. The state’s capital and most populous city, as well as its cultural and financial center, is Boston. Massachusetts is also home to the urban core of Greater Boston, the largest metropolitan area in New England and a region profoundly influential upon American history, academia, and the research economy. Originally dependent on agriculture, fishing, and trade, Massachusetts was transformed into a manufacturing center during the Industrial Revolution. During the 20th century, the state’s economy shifted from manufacturing to services, and in the 21st century it is a global leader in biotechnology, engineering, higher education, finance, and maritime trade.
