Hello! We are a small group just put together in Thurston county, wa. We are the Summit Lake Alliance. We are in the earlier stages of trying to bring forth scientific information and history to DNR to stop the Delica timber sale from happening. We admire what you are doing and the wealth of knowledge you are sharing is amazing. We have so much at stake out here. Some of the last old growth forest, 96% of residents get there water from this watershed called Summit Lake, the thriving ecosystem and on and on. If you have time or quick advice you could give as we organize our community and stand up against DNR.
