There’s no shortage of majestic scenery at Olympic National Park in Washington. The forest, coastal, and mountain ecosystems combine to create a spectacular wilderness park and a perfect place for avalanche lily to bloom and thrive.

I’m just a boy, standing in front of the world, asking you to love him…and to not feed me. We have a lot of new members to #TeamPublicLands this summer and we are so glad you’re out there enjoying nature. Just remember, even if the critters look cute, never give them food. The wildlife at public land sites don’t need your powdered donuts or “real cheese” flavored crackers, in fact, our human food will give these critters health problems and lead to poor well-being. Giving the wildlife food will also lead to negative encounters like bites and attacks. If you don’t believe us, just listen to the wildlife. “Keep your donuts, We’ve got nature’s nuts.” - Squirrely McCheeks Photo of squirrel eating nature’s nuts, by Kristin Burrill.
