State pays $97M for ‘community forest'

The Department of Ecology, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Fish and Wildlife, and Forterra bought more than 51,000 acres of land in the Yakima River Basin for $97 million. The land is north of Cle Elum and will be the first “community forest” in Washington, part of a five-year-old state DNR initiative that gives nearby communities a say in recreation, water quality, natural resource management, wildlife conservation and timber harvesting. Les Jacobowitz of Arent Fox LLP represented the seller, Bellingham-based American Forest Holdings.
