Pacific Willow

Pacific Willow, also called Shining Willow, is most likely found in areas that are moist and open. A tree and a member of the Salicaceae Family, it grows by Kiosk 03. Pilchuck Learning Center’s sponsored Western Washington State University SAM Project extinction possibility is slight; abundant, moist and shady, also found in the Rocky Mountains with little chance of extinction.  It is most likely the most common willow in Cascadia (if anyone is counting).
