DESCRIPTION
The Nisqually Community Forest proposes to protect 240 acres of mature Douglas fir forest along Powell and Elbow Lake creeks, two salmon-producing tributaries to the Nisqually River. The property is scheduled for clearcut timber harvest that would significantly reduce streamflow in a steelhead stream for at least the next 80 years. Acquisition will eliminate the possibility of clearcut harvest and maintain streamflow at approximately five times the flow rate versus if the property is clearcut.
