Want some of these great postcards to send out? There is a stack on the table just outside the front door of the Alger Community Hall for any who wish to come by and pick up.
To all friends of Blanchard Mountain,
 
Chainsaws will be buzzing in the Blanchard Core this summer unless we secure the full 7.7M due under the 2007 agreement to protect the Core (1,600 acres).
 
Statewide, constituents need to make it clear to their own elected legislators that the remaining funding must be allocated.
We need to put on a constant pressure of public demand from now until the end of March.
 
-  Visit your legislators: be polite, but firm. ( to find your legislators: app.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder )
-  Write them personal letters *.
-  Submit a letter to the editor in your local newspaper.
-  Distribute the attached poster.
 
Two web sites will make these tasks easy...they include the history of Blanchard Mt and how to write effective letters:
          www.skagitlandtrust.org     and       www.conservationnw.org/blanchard
 
Spread the word.  Make an effort to reach out to all of your family, friends, community groups and organizations, etc., etc.
Talk to others you meet when you hike, bike or ride.
 
It will take all of us to protect our beautiful Blanchard Mt from a 2017 logging plan.
 
Thank you,
Friends of Blanchard Mountain Board
member - Blanchard Advisory Committee
