The Chai Timber Sale located in Thurston County targets one of Capitol State Forest's best remaining legacy forests in Unit 3 of the sale. This forest is essentially emergent old growth, it contains second growth Douglas Fir trees up to 75 inches in diameter, as well as Red Cedar trees up to 58 inches in diameter and Grand Fir trees up to 56 inches in diameter. A particular note in this forest is the abundance of Grand Fir, this tree species is not very commercially viable and is absent from most of Western Washington. This forest is truly one of Thurston Counties best, it is scheduled to be auctioned in November 2024.
