Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) to be appended to the existing Fort Townsend State Park acreage.

" In 2008, amidst bankruptcy proceedings, the triangular southeast corner parcel of the southern tract was sold to the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) to be appended to the existing Fort Townsend State Park acreage. 

 In addition, the mill sold a conservation easement to WSPRC for 220 acres of the southern tract (the area outlined in green on the map).  

The easement precludes any development of the property, but does allow for continued mill use of the landfill, as well as selected logging of the uplands.  Limited pedestrian daytime use of the beach is allowed under the agreement, but the uplands are off-limits to the public.  While WSPRC holds the easement, our local Jefferson Land Trust provides monitoring and stewardship support."
