Recreational Access Program
Port Blakely Tree Farms has a limited number of areas that are available for special recreational access privileges. Our Recreational Access Program offers clubs, families or individuals the opportunity use a parcel of land for a variety of recreational activities including camping, hiking, hunting, mountain biking and wildlife viewing. These unique areas, known as a Recreational Access Parcel (RAP) vary in size from 400 to 3,000 acres. While these lands are actively managed as working forests, they also provide a wealth of recreational opportunities that are close to home, yet remote enough to provide a forest retreat.
RAPs are located near Olympia and Centralia in Washington, or just a short drive from Portland, Oregon. Prices range from $0.99 to $4.00 per acre depending on location and the type of use.
Permitted users will have exclusive access privileges not granted to the general public including motor vehicle access and camping. Terms of the REC PASS can be customized for specific purposes. To promote this new program, permits obtained any time in 2011 will be valid through the remainder of the year and for all of 2012. Conditions do apply so if you, your group of friends or your outdoor oriented club is interested, please drop us an email at RECPass@portblakely.com.
