Forterra says it closed last month on its purchase of land near Gold Bar from Weyerhaeuser.
SEATTLE — A Seattle-based land conservancy has purchased 0.3 square miles of land from a timber company to preserve the popular Lake Serene Trail.
The Seattle Times reported that a Friday news release from the nonprofit Forterra says it closed last month on its purchase from Weyerhaeuser.
Forterra organized a fundraiser to purchase the land when Weyerhaeuser said it planned to log in the area and close the trail east of Gold Bar.
