Fundraising effort saves patch of state-managed forest in western WA from logging • Washington State Standard (but more action is needed, see comments)

So the $32,000 was raised and the forests around the campground saved… BUT, there is a 29 acre grove of legacy forest (ecologically diverse, close to Old Growth) in the same sale that will be logged in July unless its swapped out for a less ecologically rich plot of trees. This was proposed by the conservation group and DNR did not respond.

Please read the article and if you want to, reach out directly to DNR to ask them to save that plot of trees!!!
