There are extensive boardwalks with educational platforms and viewing areas providing the public with up-close scenes of beaver ponds, salmon and bird habitats, and a low-elevation, second-growth forest without disrupting the natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many schools, including pre-schools, kindergartens, elementary and secondary schools, college classes, as well as environmental agency staff use McLane Creek for environmental education, research, and other learning purposes. In 2019, over a thousand school children received instruction from volunteers on salmon ecology at McLane Creek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dnr.wa.gov\/publications\/eng_rms_mclane_nature_trail_2.pdf\">McLane Creek Trail Map<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thurstoncountywa.gov\/planning\/planningdocuments\/mclane-creek-basin-water-resource-protection-study-final-report-june-2015.pdf\">McLane Creek Basin Water Resource Protection Study<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/525\/2021\/11\/McLane_Creek.pdf\">McLane Creek Plant Species List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nativeplantsalvage.org\/\">Native Plant Salvage Foundation<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wildliferecreation.org\/projects\/mclane-creek-nature-trail\/\">WA Wildlife and Recreation Coalition: McLane Creek<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Located on the eastern edge of Capitol National Forest and at the base of the&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/mclane-creek-nature-trail\/\">Read the post<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">McLane Creek Nature Trail<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":6941,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/999"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6941"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=999"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/999\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1084,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/999\/revisions\/1084"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=999"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=999"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.evergreen.edu\/naturalhistory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=999"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
