- South Nolan Natural Resources Conservation Area (dnr.wa.gov)
This 213-acre conservation area is an extensive forested wetland system and contains old-growth temperate rainforest and coastal sphagnum bog habitats. The forest- dominated by western redcedar, Sitka spruce, and western hemlock-includes many trees more than 500-years old. An unusual, low-elevation Pacific silver fir plant community also occurs within the conservation area.
- Polystichum munitum (Wikipedia)
Polystichum munitum, the western swordfern, is an evergreen perennial fern native to western North America, where it is one of the most abundant ferns in forested areas. It occurs along the Pacific coast from southeastern Alaska to southern California, and also inland east to southeastern British Columbia, northern Idaho and western Montana, with disjunctive populations in northern British Columbia, Canada; the Black Hills in South Dakota, United States; and Guadalupe Island off of Baja California, Mexico. Western swordfern is known to have locally naturalized in parts of Great Britain and Ireland.
