Natural Resources Conservation Areas Natural resources conservation areas (NRCAs) protect outstanding examples of native ecosystems, habitat for endangered, threatened and sensitive plants and animals, and scenic landscapes. Environmental education and low-impact public use are appropriate on conservation areas where they do not impair the protected features. Critical habitat is conservedin NRCAs for many plant and animal species, including rare species. NRCAs include coastal and high elevation forests, alpine lakes, wetlands, scenic vistas, nesting birds of prey, rocky headlands and high-quality native plant communities. Conservation areas also protect geologic, cultural, historical, and archeological sites. More than 114,000 acres are conserved in 36 Washington State NRCAs.
Recreation Two campgrounds are managed for primitive camping Approximately 20. miles of trails and converted roads are open for hiking. Bicycles, pack animals, and all motorized and non-motorized vehicles are not allowed.
