Stop the Carrot Timber Sale!

 


The Carrot Timber Sale would clearcut an irreplaceable grove of mature legacy forest in Capitol State Forest near Olympia. This timber sale is also nearby to the Sherman Valley Campground, and would degrade the experience of visiting this popular region. Legacy forests such as that threatened by the Carrot Timber sale provide immense benefits to our communities, wildlife, and climate. Once cut they cannot be replaced, and very few such forests remain. 

Tell WADNR and your elected representatives to halt the Carrot timber sale and protect all of our legacy forests!

Stop the Cake Walk Timber Sale - Save Sherman Valley Legacy Forest!

 


The beautiful trees of the Sherman Valley Legacy Forest stand sentinel over the popular Lost Valley trail, a path frequented by hikers, mountain bikers, and horseback riders alike, yet this remnant of our quickly vanishing natural heritage is in imminent danger of being clearcut as part of the Cake Walk Timber Sale. Sadly, the Board of Natural Resources chose to approve this and many other sales in irreplaceable legacy forests throughout Washington State despite vocal public opposition and the clear necessity of protecting our last remaining older forests.

Tell WADNR and your elected representatives to stop the Cake Walk Timber Sale and save our legacy forests!
