## Resource

A grassroots coalition just pulled off a historic win: raising $32,000 in four days from 325 donors to save two acres of old-growth forest west of Port Angeles—trees already slated for logging. Without the Department of Natural Resources involved, the group negotiated a deal that paid the logging company and the state, preserving what’s being called “the old-growth of tomorrow.” This bold move comes as pressure mounts to protect legacy forests amid climate change, with a new state commissioner pledging conservation—but rules bar revisiting prior timber sales. The coalition’s next target? A $1 million parcel from the controversial “Doc Holliday” sale, aiming to swap it for a different tract to keep more ancient trees standing.
