Taylor Mountain Forest Stewardship Plan
The Taylor Mountain Forest sits on the southwest flank of Taylor Mountain, near the community of Hobart in eastern King County. The 1822-acre site provides a critical link between the City of Seattle's Cedar River Watershed and Tiger Mountain State Forest. King County acquired the Taylor Mountain Forest property in 1997 to be a working forest managed to conserve, protect and restore the resources of the area. In addition, the site provides opportunities for passive recreation.
The Taylor Mountain Forest management goals are:
- Protect, enhance and restore ecological systems
- Restore the health and diversity of the forest
- Demonstrate environmentally sound forest management through sustainable timber production
- Maintain forest roads to state requirements
- Provide passive recreational opportunities for the public
- Enhance opportunities for environmental education
