Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

We are so excited .. 

we are only 5.5 miles away from one of our favorite 

spots for "natures activities" as my little Anna used to say. 

The refuge preserves this beautiful estuary from 

commercial development.  It is where the Nisqually River 

meets the salt waters of the Puget Sound.  

The riparian forested wetlands are unique

ecosystems that provide habitat for 

many species of wildlife such as 

migratory song birds, juvenile salmon, 

eagles, wild geese, shore birds, mink, weasel, 

deer, otters, beavers, bats, porcupines,

herons ... to name just a few!!!

At the Refuge the Riparian Forest 

Overlook offers unique views of tidal 

forested wetland plant communities 

and the sloughs filling and draining 

as tides and rivers’ flow change.

Humankind has not woven the web of life.

We are but one thread within it.

Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.

All things are bound together.

All things connect.
