message from WA DNR: Polelander Timber Sale near Tarbell Trailhead (story)

Submitted by Mark Pickett on Sat, 01/30/2010 - 9:17am.

From: WA Dept. of Natural Resources
Subject: Tarbell Timber Sale info update

Just wanted to give you all a heads up about the Polelander Timber Sale, occurring near trail mile marker 22.5 between Rock Creek Campground and Tarbell Trailhead.  They just started road building last week, and have been actively harvesting timber.  There is a log deck currently blocking the trail, which will impede trail traffic, until further notice.  The Contract Administrator estimates that this will only be there for a week or so.  As they are shovel logging, this operation will be relatively gentle on the trail, and the contactors will put it back into order once completed.

Northwest Trail Alliance launches all-new Trail Development Partnership Program; applies for grant for trail building machine (story)

Submitted by Frederick on Wed, 01/13/2010 - 2:28pm.
If successful, a January grant application for a brand new single track building machine will form the nucleus of a new trail building partnership between Northwest Trail Alliance and more than a dozen government agencies and mountain biking organizations in NW Oregon and SW Washington. The Single Track ST240, built specifically for trail construction, comes with a price tag of $94,000 (including accessories, closed trailer, and operator training), but the majority of the funds would be covered by the grant from Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD), which would be awarded in May 2010. By regulation, 20 percent of the cost of the project must come from other sources, and Northwest Trail Alliance project lead Joe Rykowski hopes donations from business supporters will help make up for a good chunk of that sum.
