A proposed forest-improvement timber sale in the Wolf Creek area won’t allow healthy regeneration of the forest and could exacerbate erosion into the Methow River and endanger fish, according to Conservation Northwest. The conservation group submitted comments this week to the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) on the proposed Virginia Ridge FIT (Forest-Improvement Timber) sale. DNR plans to log 750 acres in the Virginia Ridge and Wolf Creek areas, plus a small section near Mazama, next year. …But Conservation Northwest said much of the Virginia Ridge/Wolf Creek area was heavily logged in the 1980s and almost all big trees were cut. “There are not enough large old trees to call this uneven-aged,” said Conservation Northwest in its comments on the proposal.
