happen without your support!
Please bring a fellow forest owner or next door neighbor,
and join us on May 22 to learn more about these proposed optional

Find out how you can help us
encourage our public agencies to do the right thing by moving this
essential project forward.

Improved
Regulations Proposed by
Family Forestland Owners
& Lewis County
Veterans Memorial
Museum, Chehalis
6:30- 8PM
We need your
help!!
- Come join local landowners and County officials
in a Town Hall discussion on how we can collectively move the Family
Forest Habitat Conservation Plan (FFHCP) forward to the benefit
forestland business owners, the County, and our environment.
- The FFHCP will help conserve our working
forests, save scarce financial resources for landowners and for Lewis County - all while still
protecting our essential environmental resources.
- The FFHCP will enhance the level of science in
our forest regulations in ways that could ultimately help landowners
in other counties maintain, and enhance
their forestlands.
- An investment of over 3 million dollars in
private and public funds, not to mention thousands of hours of
volunteer time, have gone into the HCP's
grassroots effort over the past decade. The apparent refusal
by Federal Services to allow public review of this science-based
plan leaves family forestland business owners questioning whether
our Federal government is sincere about wanting to keep our working
forests on the landscape.
