Skamania County residents can comment on two forest practice proposals before August 7. The Washington Department of Natural Resources issued a forest practice application for Weyerhaeuser Timber Holdings, Inc. on July 24. The proposal covers 6 acres of right of way harvest with 138 MBF of timber. It includes 6,875 feet of road construction, 250 cubic yards of spoils, and 5 stream crossings.
