Green River Gorge - 05-07 Acquisitions
- Status
- Funded in 2005
This grant will allow State Parks to purchase 158 acres of land in the Green River Gorge, which was established as a conservation area by the Legislature in 1969. The Legislature directed purchase of a 12-mile strip of land that incorporates the visual basins of the Green River from the Kummer Bridge to Palmer. With this grant, State Parks will purchase the Kanaskat-Palmer/Jellum Connection, formerly owned by Plum Creek Timber, and recently purchased by La Terra Limited Partnership. This parcel is a critical inholding, lying between the Green River and land managed by the state Department of Natural Resources. It provides a connection at the plateau level between the development at Kanaskat-Palmer and State Park ownership at Jellum, 2 miles west. It also links with private land, currently targeted for acquisition by the county and cooperating nongovernment organizations.
Location
access is off the Cumberland Road just west of Kanaskat-Palmer state, via a locked gate. Contact staff at Kanaskat-Palmer (360-886-0148) or Flaming Geyser (253-931-3930) state park for assistance.
