Ongoing Fall Timber Harvesting
in Port Gamble Heritage Park

In accordance with the purchase agreement, Pope Resources expects to be harvesting 80 acres adjacent on the north end of the Port Gamble Heritage Park, from late September of 2017 though January of 2018. Closed areas will be delineated in the field. During this time, the harvest area, trails, and roads internal to the harvest area will be closed to public access. This includes the following trails; Hope, E.T., and portions of Ewok and Ranger. Roads accessing the area will remain open, but you should be alert for log truck and other vehicle traffic. These closures must be respected for both the contractor's and the public's safety. Willful violations of the closures will be reported to law enforcement.
Allowing Pope to harvest trees over the next 25 years was a tradeoff that allowed Kitsap County to expand the land acquisition by over 1000 additional acres that could not have been purchased if the trees were included with the land. Put another way, the purchase of all trees on the 1360 acres would have cost an additional $9 million of so. No trees will be harvested from the initial 535-acre purchase and Pope will replant harvested areas with a diverse mix of native trees after the work is done.
More information is available at our PG Timber Harvest FAQ.

Reach the Beach fundraiser Sept 30th

American Lung Association’s Inaugural Reach The Beach Washington Cycling Event Raises Funds for Lung Disease Research, Educational Programs, and Advocacy
A Great New Ride on September 30, 2017 with Routes from Lacey, Olympia, Elma and Cosmopolis to the Coast

Seattle, WA (August 29, 2017) – Flat and fast; a cyclist’s dream course! The American Lung Association announces the inaugural “Reach the Beach” Washington ride on September 30, 2017. The course will take riders through the gorgeous countryside of Lacey - 102 miles, Olympia - 81 miles, Elma – 44 miles, and Cosmopolis - 25 miles, leading along the scenic oceanfront to the finish line celebration in Westport. Because of the distance options, Reach the Beach is ideal for serious cyclists, recreational cyclists and families.

Many cyclists will be riding in honor or memory of those whose lives have been touched by lung disease, COPD and asthma. Reach the Beach Washington is more than just a fundraiser. The event will bring people and communities together from across the Pacific Northwest.

Reach The Beach Washington is modeled after the successful annual Reach The Beach Oregon, which raised more than $750,000 this past year for lung disease research. “The ride in Oregon is known as the best supported ride in the Northwest and I can’t wait to bring this same level of cycling to Washington,” said Season Oltman, Executive Director for the American Lung Association in Washington. “There are many wonderful elements that make Reach the Beach so well known. The beautiful route, the multiple distance options, the party at the finish line, but we are best known for the high level of support we provide the riders.”

The ride will have mechanics at all 4 start locations and 4 additional rest stops along the route along with on course ride-along mechanics, SAG vehicles, medical support and a well-marked course. There will also be 2 full lunch stops and a delicious dinner at the finish line, in addition to electrolytes, water and other snacks throughout the course. 

The registration fee is $45 after that. Riders must also fundraise or donate an additional $125 to ride. This year, those who raise $150 will receive a long-sleeved Reach the Beach shirt, those who raise $300 will get an official Reach the Beach cycling jersey and those that raise $550 will receive an official Reach The Beach cycling jacket. Participants who raise $3,000 or more will receive a free 2018 Reach the Beach Oregon pass and hotel room. Because of the variety of distance options, Reach the Beach is for serious cyclists as well as recreational ones, including families. For more information visit www.reachthebeachwa.org
