The 800-acre West Rocky Unit is located two miles northwest of Tenino. It contains the unique south Puget Sound prairie ecosystem, which supports a variety of imperiled plant and animal species. Also found are riparian, wetland and forest habitats, including a two-mile stretch of Beaver Creek and an Oregon white oak community that is uncommon on the west side of the Cascade Mountains. The primary habitat management focus is the restoration and maintenance of prairie habitats using prescribed fire, exotic plant control, and the re-establishment of native species.
Popular recreational activities include wildlife viewing, hunting, botanical studies. One parking area is located on the area.
