Manulife Timberlands closed in NE Washington

[Torrent50]

Just a heads up if you don't already know.  I just called the office number in Colville and the recorded message says all lands in NE Washington are closed to public access.  That's a BIG chunk of land that's no longer available.

The bobbleheads in Olympia are so starving for money. They should start taxing the timber companies like they tax us when they charge for access or don't allow access at all. Almost 60% of WA's land is privately-held and most of that is timberland.

Their property in western WA has been pay to play for 20+ years...

I know. It's time to make them pay their fair share like the rest of us.

There also going to charge more for a permit for their NE Wa permits than they do for western Wa.

I knew about some changes in Idaho and that their land in Oregon was going to close after June 1st.  But I hadn't heard or read anything about changes to northeast Washington.  I'm glad I decided to call because my planned opening morning turkey spot is on a chunk managed by them.
