Statement from Washington Forest Protection Association Executive Director Jason Spadaro in response The Seattle Times’ story on Washington State’s fish passage program:

“Washington’s sustainably managed working forests have long led the way in salmon recovery efforts, balancing societal and wildlife habitat needs. As what is quite possibly the most successful model of landscape conservation in Washington state, the Forests and Fish Habitat Conservation Plan exemplifies how private forest landowners have stepped up and demonstrated that improving fish habitat is not only achievable, but something we remain committed to.”
