Transcription

1 Port Blakely Tree Farms, L.P. Recreational Access Program Port Blakely Tree Farms has a limited number of areas that are available for special recreational access privileges. Our Recreational Access Program offers clubs, families or individuals the opportunity use a parcel of land for a variety of recreational activities including camping, hiking, hunting, mountain biking and wildlife viewing. These unique areas, known as a Recreational Access Parcel (RAP) vary in size from 400 to 3,000 acres. While these lands are actively managed as working forests, they also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities that are close to home, yet remote enough to provide a forest retreat. RAPs are located near Olympia and Centralia in Washington, or just a short drive from Portland, Oregon. Prices range from $0.99 to $4.00 per acre depending on location and the type of use. Permitted users will have exclusive access privileges not granted to the general public including motor vehicle access and camping. Terms of the REC PASS can be customized for specific purposes. To promote this new program, permits obtained any time in 2011 will be valid through the remainder of the year and for all of Conditions do apply so if you, your group of friends or your outdoor oriented club is interested, please drop us an at RECPass@portblakely.com.

A REC PASS is a license agreement between the holder(s) and Port Blakely Tree Farms for the purpose of entering upon our lands for the purpose(s) designated on the agreement. Basically, a REC PASS is for a particular use, on a designated parcel of land for a set period of time. What is a RAP? A RAP is a Recreational Access Parcel of land with a single access point where the license holder(s) is granted special privileges including motor vehicle access and camping. The license holder(s) will be the only recreationist granted certain privileges to use the property for purposes stated on the REC PASS. Who qualities for a REC PASS? Any individual or group of individuals may collectively acquire a REC PASS. We limit the number of participants to 10 adults. Minors accompanied by parents or legal guardians count as one person. Additional members can join your group, though the cost of the REC PASS is subject to increase accordingly.

3 Why aren t motorcycles or ATVs allowed? There are a few reasons. First, these types of vehicles have historically caused significant damage to roads and waterways on our property. Secondly, our insurance does not permit motorcycles or ATVs. In special cases we may make exceptions with insurance covered by the REC PASS holder(s) and the cost of the REC PASS is subject to a fee increase. What types of forestry activities might occur in a RAP? Anything from logging to road maintenance to silviculture activities might occur any time in the year and any time of day; even brush picking. Your REC PASS may be conditioned if logging is to occur to avoid accidents and keep everyone safe. We do use herbicides to control vegetation on the roadside and in our young plantations. These areas are posted off limits for a short period after application according to applicable state and federal laws. Who else might I encounter in a RAP? Port Blakely Tree Farms contractors and employees are authorized to enter for work related purposes. You may also encounter other members of the public who are accessing the area pursuant to our Public Access Policy found on our website. Public access is allowed unless your REC PASS states otherwise. Can a RAP be closed? Yes, during times of extreme fire hazard, state government raises the Fire Precaution Level to a Level 4 which means all public access is denied. In fact, we are only allowed to enter our land for fire patrol purposes. This is a rare occurrence and we will endeavor to notify you that access is temporarily denied. We will not prorate fees for closure periods and we reserve the right to close area if we feel the fire danger is too high. Always, during periods of hot and dry weather, extreme care should be used. Can I build anything on the property? Permanent structures of any kind cannot be built on the property without permission. Clearing a small area for camping is allowed provided trees are not cut down. Temporary lean-to s that do not use nails or spikes are ok. Can I have a campfire? Yes, on certain conditions. The campfire must be contained inside a metal commercially available portable fire pit or equivalent no greater than three square feet of area. This is for everyone s safety and to prevent forest fires. Also, there are times during the year, especially in the summer, when all outdoor burning is banned by county and state governments. Generally, fires will not be allowed during the summer months. Your REC PASS will provide guidance on when campfires are banned or when they are allowed; ultimately you are responsible so

4 remember to keep fires small, never leave them unattended and extinguish until the area is cold and wet! Can I cut firewood? Firewood may be cut from trees blocking normal travel roads only. The firewood cutting is limited to the width of the road to provide for travel. In the event more than a single tree of is encountered, the REC PASS holder(s) must notify us before proceeding. Gathering of down wood, without the use of a power saw is allowed. How should I treat the property? It is best to view your use of the property as that of a land steward. It is important to protect road, timber and other natural resources such as streams, fauna and flora. Can I hunt on the property? Yes, provided all applicable local, state and federal laws are strictly followed. Where do I get a REC PASS?
