"Got Cottonwood?"
Washington State Parks needs a
small volume of special native cottonwood logs (black cottonwood, Populus trichocarpa). A
pioneer cabin at Olmstead
Place State
Park, near Ellensburg, was originally
constructed of cottonwood logs. Some of the logs have decayed, and State
Parks needs replacement material to make repairs in keeping with the
original construction.
Understanding that this type of
small, very specialized job is "under the radar" for most large
timber companies, Washington State Parks hopes that one or more family
tree farms will be able to supply this unique need.
Follow this link for information
on log specifications and about the contact person at WA State
Parks.
