Protection Island National Wildlife Refuge is a place in our region that has a mysterious appeal. The island is closed to visitors, yet its close proximity to the mainland means it doesn’t go unforgotten. The 400-acre island has a fascinating history that starts and ends with the S’Klallam people. Join Amos as he brings you on a virtual tour of the island where you can experience the sights and sounds of this incredible place. You will learn about the island’s cultural importance, agricultural destruction, and its significance to birds in the region.
