Moulton Falls Trail on the East Fork of the Lewis River WA

[LLorenz]

My name is Linda Lorenz and I have property near Moulton Falls Regional Park, Washington. It has just come to my attention that there will be a clear cut called the Michigan Trotter Clear Cut next to the Moulton Falls trail. This clear cut will be done on DNR land and is scheduled for January 2019. Just to clarify I understand that the clear cuts in Washington State help fund many important programs, yet, this clear cut in my opinion is in the wrong place. The natural beauty of this area is enjoyed by hikers, bikers and train riders and I would hate to see this clear cut come to fruition. Tourism is a growing industry in Washington State and this area is a destination spot for many out of town guests.


The campaign has a website:

Please help anyway you can. Write a letter, call DNR, WA spread the word.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up - heading to lower Moulton Falls tomorrow for some cliff jumping.

Been curious about that trail adjacent to where we go every year, need to check it out further before this clear cut happens...

From what I have read, that cut is supposed to come very close to the trail. I know that the state needs money, but somehow they seem to be able to get approval for clear cuts that the national forest folks wouldn't even attempt to push through.

This cut will be visible from the Lucia Falls Road, the Moulton Falls trail and the Chelatchie Prairie Railroad (which is a passenger train only.) VERY SAD........

Please send a note to Commissioner Hilary Franz to oppose this cut.
