While the new Commissioner of Public Lands has paused the sale of legacy forests, work to preserve those forests continues on several fronts: a lawsuit to stop the logging of Stilly Revisited, a request for a nomination to DNR to permanently protect a legacy forest near Darrington, mapping of legacy forests in Snohomish County, and discussions with junior taxing districts.

The Center for Responsible Forestry estimates there are about 27,000 acres of mature or legacy forests on public lands in Snohomish County that are subject to logging in the near future by the Washington Dept. of Natural Resources (DNR). Our League has set an immediate objective is to support our county in protecting these forests.
