Property Overview: This property was donated to the Land Trust by Jan Wigley in 2000. It protects the south shoreline of the Upper Nisqually River just downstream from the confluence with Mineral Creek. In amongst the mature Douglas fir, western red cedar, and western hemlock there is evidence of earlier harvest – stumps with spring board notches. In 2013, Pierce Conservation District treated knotweed along this stretch of the river, including a few small patches on this property.
