Take action - Prioritize fish & wildlife habitat, not logging in WDFW-owned forests
Thursday, May 22, 2014 at 12:00AM 
Some of the most important forest habitat in Washington state occurs on lands held by the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). Unlike most state lands, WDFW forests are principally dedicated to preserving, protecting, and perpetuating fish and wildlife.
That’s an appropriate gold standard. But logging activities sanctioned in a proposed plan could cause substantial harm to the fish and wildlife habitat the agency should be protecting.
Please let the Department know by sending your comments by Friday, May 23.

Now BEFORE you take action - check out the draft management plan for these WDFW lands:

If you are going to submit a comment you must first be educated on what the department has planned. The DESIRED FUTURE CONDITIONS of these forests are well written in the management plan. They all address restoring these forests to ENCOURAGE wildlife habitat.
