About the event
Located on Chehalis territory on the west side of Capitol State Forest, the "Misty" timber sale threatens to clearcut nearly 90 acres of rare, structurally complex forest up to 154 years old. This planned clearcut is among dozens of legacy forest timber sales that former commissioner Hilary Franz and the Board of Natural Resources approved for logging in late 2024. Misty recently sold at auction but remains standing thanks to a preliminary injunction resulting from LFDC's ongoing litigation.
Please join LFDC and South Sound Bird Alliance on Saturday, July 5th to experience the forest, connect with others, and learn about ways to get involved in the legacy forest movement!
