Like a sapling left standing after a clearcut, the public lands of Southwest Washington are slowly growing one ring at a time. Recently, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed that 6,557 acres of Weyerhaeuser timberlands have been opened to the public through their private lands access program. Those acres are located primarily in the Cascade foothills south of Mount St. Helens and on the east side of Interstate 5. One of the four parcels is located just southeast of Yale Reservoir along the Clark/Skamania county line. Other parcels are located in Game Management Units 568 (Washougal), 572 (Siouxon), and 568 (South Clark County). In those areas, access permits will no longer be required for visitors but the use of motorized vehicles is still prohibited.
