After decades of effort and following a hard won, successful agreement, will this precious forest become a permanent reserve and recreation area or will it be logged? 2017 is the crucial year. Julia Hurd talks with Skagit County Commissioner Lisa Janicki, Skagit Land Trust Executive Director, Molly Doran, and Conservation Northwest Executive Director, Mitch Freedman, who describe the forest's significance, historical efforts to preserve it, conservation and funding issues, and what citizens can do now.
"It would be a shame to see 10 years of successful partnership end due to a simple lack of funding from the Legislature." - Lisa Janicki
