Morse Wildlife Preserve

The Morse Wildlife Preserve was established by a donation of land from Lloyd and Maxine Morse. Situated at the headwaters of the north fork of Muck Creek, the preserve is a mosaic of forests, wetlands, meadow and remnant prairie. Jointly managed with Tahoma Audubon Society, the preserve is home to a variety of birds and wildlife.

Originally 53 acres, the preserve expanded by 45 acres in 2001, thanks to the foresight of the landowner and the generosity of an anonymous donor. CLC acquired an adjacent property that includes a portion of Muck Creek and a high-quality forested wetland, a diminishing resource in Pierce County.
