Are Jefferson County Officials Protecting Greed over the Health and Well Being of the only protected temperate rain forests in the Northern Hemisphere, the Hoh Rain Forest.

 Jefferson County Washington sure seems to have a high obligation to ensure the protection of the Hoh Rainforest. Are Jefferson County Washington officials, commissions, health regulators acting within the law or are they protecting jobs, industry and the greed of Amcol International?

Is the Hoh Rainforest in Jefferson County Washington?

What about the Dungeness National Wildlife Refuge also shown on the map above, sure they are breathing the air from Port Townsend Washington.


"The Hoh Rainforest is located on the Olympic Peninsula in western Washington state, USA. It is one of the largest temperate rainforests in the U.S.

 Within Olympic National Park, the forest is protected from commercial exploitation. This includes 24 miles (39 km) of low elevation forest (394 to 2,493 feet) along the Hoh River. The Hoh River valley was formed thousands of years ago by glaciers.

Between the park boundary and the Pacific Ocean, 48 km (30 mi) of river, much of the forest has been logged within the last century, although many pockets of forest remain."

YET, actually it is NOT, as the commercial exploitation around it that affects the plants and wildlife is allowed, seemingly, to completely run amok.
