| The
forests on the crown of Blanchard Mountain
have now recovered from the logging that took
place one hundred years ago. The resultant
environment acts as a magnet for approximately
45,000 visitors a year. Despite the mountain's
attractions and the preference of area
residents for non logging initiatives, the
Washington State Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) intends to conduct timber
sales in the near future. If the proposed logging
road network is completed as planned, it is
difficult to imagine that there will be many
trees left when logging is complete. Those
desiring an example of how a denuded mountain
appears, need look no further than Lookout
Mountain which is north on I-5. As a property
owner on the mountain, I am concerned that the
current logging proposals will negatively
impact the long term quality of life for both
residents and visitors alike.
