Stephens Preserve

Conserved in 2002

Property Overview:

• 22 acres northeast of Olympia along South Bay Rd NE.
• Donated by the Dorothy Griswold Stephens Foundation in 2002.
• The Preserve is adjacent to the west side of Woodard Creek, a stream used by coho and chum salmon, as well as sea-run cutthroat trout. The stream channel is buffered by a wide floodplain wetland.
• The wetlands bordering the creek provide incredible bird habitat, supporting species as diverse as great-horned owl, bald eagle, olive-sided flycatcher, band-tailed pigeon and a multitude of songbirds.
