Blanchard Mountain
Blanchard Forest is comprised of 4,800 acres of forested state trust lands managed by the state Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The forest is centered on the southern-most mountain of the majestic Chuckanut Range, just south of the Skagit/Whatcom county line, representing a coastal forest in a unique community setting that is rapidly urbanizing. Blanchard Forest has superlative ecological and recreation qualities, as well as significant timber production potential that helps fund Skagit County services, local education, and contributes to the local natural resource based economy. In spring 2006, the Blanchard Forest Strategies Group was appointed by State Lands Commissioner Doug Sutherland to help the department develop long-term management strategies for this valuable asset. The group was given legal and policy parameters within which they developed their conceptual strategies for this working forest. They have developed a set of consensus management recommendations that embrace a wide range of benefits reflective of the uniqueness of Blanchard Forest and its importance to the community.
