About the event

Located on the Usual and Accustomed lands of the Chehalis Tribe, the “Jackie Paper” timber sale threatens the Gaddis Creek Legacy Forest. This forest, which is near a known occupied Marbled Murrelet nest site, is one of the oldest forests remaining in the Lower Chehalis State Forest, and is home to massive Douglas firs and western redcedars. The timber sale is scheduled for auction in November 2024.

Please join us on July 7th to visit the sale and raise awareness for our legacy forests!

Where: We'll meet outside Porter Fire Station 52, just east of Hwy 12 on Porter Creek Rd

When: Sunday, July 7th, 2024 from 10am–1:00pm 

What: The hike will be approximately 4 miles round-trip (mostly on-trail, some light bushwhacking)

Please bring water, snacks, shoes to hike in and the appropriate layers in case of rain.
