We're More Than Just A Pretty Face Now

I received a form from the Prosecutor's Office Friday with the case number on it.  Apparently we are Hearings Board number 13-2-0016 based on that communication.  I have not yet been formally notified, probably because mail is a bit delayed from Olympia.

Meanwhile, I thought you might enjoy the photos below, taken in the 1890s.  The two forests pictured are not the Reconveyance lands but are of forests similar to Whatcom County's.

The takeaway is that the pre-settlement forests were not static. They burned, they died, they were blown over in windstorns and they grew again.

Don't forget to hit the "share" buttons at the bottom to share news of the reconveyance with your Facebook and other friends.

According to the survey of the nation's forests accomplished in the last years of the 1800s, much of the forest in Whatcom County had burned before it was harvested.  Note the forest in front of the McMansion in the bottom photo.
