VICTORIA TRACT TRAILS ARE CLOSED FOR THE WINTER (Roads are open)

 

COVID-19 UPDATE

 

 

Pilchuck Tree Farm plans to follow the lead of other public lands regarding any potential closures in the future regarding the coronavirus situation. 

Come Prepared - Bring your own soap, water, hand sanitizer, and toilet paper with you, sani-cans will be available. Be prepared to cover your nose and mouth if you find yourself near others with a mask or other facial covering.
 
Stay Close to Home - This is not the time to travel long distances to recreate. If your destination is crowded, be prepared to go somewhere else or come back at another time. Also, make sure to enjoy the outdoors with your immediate household members only. Recreation with those you don’t live with creates new avenues for transmission.
 
Don’t Take Unnecessary Risks - Health care workers and first responders are working really hard right now to keep us safe during this health crisis. This is not the time to try out trailriding with your new horse.
 
Practice Physical Distancing and Good Hygiene - Keep six feet between you and those outside your immediate household. Leave at least one parking space between your vehicle and the vehicle next to you. Wash your hands often and try not to touch your face. Practice good hygiene and bring your own water, soap, hand sanitizer, and facial covering with you.
 
Leave No Trace - As always take any garbage with you, including disposable gloves and masks and with shedding season upon us remember to not leave hair in the parking areas either.

 

 

FYI: Do not contact the PRA about hunting or firewood inquiries.
