About the event
Located on the usual and accustomed lands of the Snoqualmie Tribe, the proposed “Forrest Stump” timber sale threatens to clearcut 78 acres of naturally regenerated forest on Tiger Mountain. If approved this September, the project would fragment one of the largest blocks of intact legacy forests on the mountain, converting yet another biodiverse forest into a tree farm. The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) argues that Forrest Stump is not structurally complex enough to conserve from logging. We disagree! At well over 100 years old, this carbon-dense forest contains a mix of hemlock, Douglas-fir, western redcedar, silver fir, and Sitka spruce, with large snags and remnant old-growth trees. It also provides habitat for a host of migratory birds and old-forest-dependent species.
Join LFDC on Sunday, August 24th to experience the forest, connect with others, and learn about ways to get involved in protecting Tiger Mountain!
