- Teal Slough Natural Resources Conservation Area (dnr.wa.gov)
This small site, located near the mouth of the Naselle River, supports a remnant coastal old growth forest represented by ancient western red-cedar and Sitka spruce trees. This forest provides homes for marbled murrelets and spotted owls, as well as for Dunn’s and Van Dyke’s salamanders, Vaux’s swifts, and pileated woodpeckers. Easily accessible from Highway 101, and adjacent to a larger conservation landscape, the site has a high potential for educational purposes to illustrate a coastal forest ecosystem.
