Governors:
Please rewild our State. In Washington, with its 45 million acres, the US owns four times the State’s public forested acreage – 12 million: 3 million. Of the latter, DNR logs ~100,000 acres annually. Governor, before you retire, using the Farm & Garden’s unique Vancouver Province of the Rocky Mountain Floristic Region Floristic Region’s 900 native plant species list:
- Replant 10% or 10,000 acres, of this year’s DNR clear-cut lands with at least 450 native
species, rather than a single (1) cloned Douglas Fir; -
Ask the US to do the same on 40,000 acres (ideally without herbicides);
-
Seek voluntary connecting easements from private owners for public access (and corridors of biodiversity for wildlife); and
-
End the easily predicted extinction of these native plant species.
0.3% would be a small first step; in 100 years, we’d meet the 30×30 challenge. If you were to replant all 100,000 acres harvested this year, it would take but 10 years to rewild the State. We’d best Scotland and, for eternity, be a beacon to future generations.
