Hi all, thank you so much for your support!

Here is a little information on where privatization is being seeked: 

Gifford Pinchot National Forest & BLM Lands: Legislative and federal proposals (such as Senate budget reconciliation land sale plans) have targeted millions of acres of national forest and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) lands in Washington for potential private sale and development.  
Olympic National Forest & Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest: Over 2 million acres of undeveloped forest protected under the Roadless Rule face threats from proposed administrative rollbacks that would open areas to increased logging, cattle grazing, and commercial development.  

North Cascades & Lake Chelan Region: Federal policy shifts have pushed to open millions of acres of national public lands and forests in central and eastern Washington (including areas around Lake Chelan, the North Cascades, and Okanogan National Forest) to commercial cattle grazing and logging.

Stehekin River Corridor (North Cascades National Park Complex): The Department of the Interior has pushed the National Park Service to alter reconstruction plans for Company Creek Road, prioritizing private landowner access and altering the wild river corridor.  

State-Managed DNR Lands & Trails State Recreation & Trailheads:

Budget cuts of $500,000 to the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) recreation maintenance budget—overseen by Public Lands Commissioner Dave Upthegrove—have put half a dozen to a dozen state-managed sites, trailheads, and community forests at risk of reduced operating hours or temporary closure.  Specific At-Risk State Sites: Mentioned locations include  Poo Poo Point in Tiger Mountain State Forest,  Tianway Community Forest near Cle Elum, and  Oyster Dome above Chuckanut Drive.
