This region is a large contributor to the $305 million revenue DNR generated in 2012 to benefit Washington’s schools, counties, and other state trust land beneficiaries.
Prevent forest fires while you play
Did you know, 9 out of 10 wildfires are human caused? No one wants their fun weekend trip to start a fire. So why does it happen? Many people don’t know that simple behaviors can have devastating consequences. Learn more about preventing forest fires while you play here.
There is currently a burn ban on all DNR-managed land. So even if your behavior doesn’t start a fire, it could still land you a costly ticket.
