Port Townsend, Wash. _ Boy Scouts executives plan to selectively log
86 acres on the Olympic Peninsula, despite an appeal from Gov. Gary
Locke, a former Boy Scout himself. The Chief Seattle Council of the
Boy Scouts has received all the required permits to log the property
near Camp Parsons on Pulali Point, which is on Dabob Bay near Hood
Canal.
Work could begin any time, Brad Farmer, the council's executive director,
told The Sun newspaper of Bremerton.
Locke sent Farmer a letter urging him to "reconsider your harvest
plans to have less of an environmental impact and to preserve the
heritage of the scouting experience at Camp Parsons."
