  • The Backcountry Horsemen is a nation-wide group of advocates who work to ensure that public land, such as national forests, is open to horses and their riders. Since the forest service doesn't have the money to maintain all of the trails in the Colville National Forest, the Backcountry Horsemen of Ferry County are a key group of volunteers that maintain the trails. Without horses it would be nearly impossible to hand-carry the equipment necessary to do the work. The five-mile Edds Mountain trail was littered with fallen trees killed by fire. The group has been working on the trail for three years. I hiked to the top were the Backcountry Horsemen and Conservation Northwest, a nonprofit environmental group, teamed up to work on the trail.<br />
     George Young, president of the Ferry Country chapter of the BCH, removes the debris cut by Terry (who declined to give his last name). These members of the Ferry County chapter are not proponents of wilderness. One reason is because they would have to do the same work with handsaws instead of chainsaws, since machines are forbidden in designated wilderness areas. Edds Mountain is within a "roadless" area. The area is managed as wilderness but is not fully protected like a designated wilderness.

  • The forest in this image was once unhealthy. Fire suppression caused the trees to grow very close to one another. (See some of the "dog hair" images in this album). Now it's one of the most pristine restored forests in the Colville. See, environmental groups will fight national forest timbers sales that go into unhealthy forests and take ALL the trees. Most timber sales won't make a distinction between unhealthy trees, old growth, secondary growth, healthy trees, etc. But making this distinction, working together for the greater good, can leave a healthy forest behind after some, but not all, timber has been extracted.

  • This picturesque scene shows a typical rural  homestead in the Columbia Highlands. I had just left the privately owned Phillip's Ranch, which shares a boundary with the Colville National Forest. This is the "Wildland Urban Interface" or WUI. The WUI is where homes and private property mix along the edge of true wilderness. Fires that start in the wilderness can quickly grow, threatening homes and destroying livelihoods throughout the WUI. This is partly due to 70 years of mismanagement of our national forests. The Northeast Washington Coalition, a collaborative group of local stakeholders including Conservation Northwest, encourages selective timber extraction in the WUI. The group feels this is one of the best tools for eliminating the overgrown, unhealthy forests that plague 300,000 acres of the WUI in the Columbia Highlands.
