CLOUDSLEDGE CONSERVATION TRUST

In accordance with the purposes of the trust, "to preserve in perpetuity the cloudsledge forest by silviculture": dead and dying trees were carefully removed from the forest or incorporated to improve soil stability or wildlife habitat. Seedling ponderosa pine, western larch, and western white pine were planted to replace dying douglas fir and other species. Noxious weeds were sprayed, pulled or treated with biological control. Buildings and/or infrastructure were repaired, updated or replaced as necessary. Goodwill grants were awarded in the local community, and groups of people visited the forest for recreation, education and scientific purposes.
