Willapa National Wildlife Refuge—a pristine estuary with miles of unspoiled dunes and beaches as well as grasslands, marsh, ponds, and more than 250 square miles of water surface—hosts a diverse assortment of wildlife, and this guide helps readers identify them. From the Pacific treefrog and black-tailed deer to the spotted owl and flying squirrel, this reference is a must have for any visitor to the area. Produced in collaboration with Friends of Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, the guide contributes part of the proceeds from its sale to support their awareness and educational activities.
