- Schumacher Creek Natural Area Preserve (dnr.wa.gov)
This 499 acre preserve includes the headwaters of Schumacher Creek, the stream and associated wetlands, a shore-pine forested sphagnum bog, and an upland buffer. Within the wetlands and bog are a variety of plant communities that vary in their dominant vegetation. One of the plant communities found at Schumacher NAP, the Sitka alder/skunk cabbage-water parsley community, has a very restricted geographic range; it is only found in the Puget lowlands and is critically imperiled.
If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her.
