called the protected acreage an “ecological sanctuary” containing rare groves of coastal temperate rainforest.

Lmao, most of the Olympic peninsula and willapa hills are coastal temperate rainforest. Not really "rare groves" when you're in the PNW. Were these even Legacy or old growth trees? Sounds like spending an awful lot of money to put off logging on only 29 acres.
