The Jigsaw Timber Sale is located in the Willapa Bay watershed and will clear cut an area that contains dozens of remnant old growth trees. This region contains almost no old growth and this sale would fragment an already fragmented stand of old growth that was selectively logged in the 1950s. While the biggest cedar trees will be left standing, either in riparian buffers or as individual leave trees, dozens of old growth Hemlock are set to be cut down, and this ecosystem that has begun to knit itself back together will once again be fragmented. The rest of the timber sale consists of plantation hemlock, which are reminiscent of the landscape across this region.
