Weyerhaeuser Forest Harvest Approved

πŸ”Š Listen Β· narrated by Aiden

Skamania County approved a forest practice application for Weyerhaeuser Timber Holdings, Inc. The project covers 6 acres of right of way harvest totaling 138 MBF (million board feet) of timber. It includes 6,875 feet of road construction, 250 cubic yards of spoils, and 5 stream crossings. The application was issued July 24, 2026, with public comments due August 7, 2026.

The Skamania County Department of Natural Resources approved the project as part of the forest practice application process. The project is located within Skamania County, affecting local roads and waterways. Residents near the proposed work area should be aware of potential temporary road closures and increased logging truck traffic.

The county will accept public comments on the project until August 7, 2026. After that, the application will move forward to implementation. The project is expected to impact local forestry and transportation routes, including SR-14 and Wind River corridor access.
