Kalama Green Mountain Rock Hound Collecting area update
Due to forester activity in and around the Green Mountain
area, ALL of the Kalama Rock Hound area is closed as of May

Please respect this notice to help keep the area open to us for
rock hounding.
Thank you
LongView Fibre is now LongView Timber
We will be able to get back in to Kalama Green Mountain area to rockhound, with some
restrictions.
We need to be on our best behavior. I.E. fill in our holes, and not dig where we should not.
The area south of the beaver ponds is closed and the J. E. Johnson road area (south of the ponds)
is Closed FOREVER.
The area North of the ponds is open.
Remember that if you go on LVT property to rockhound, let them know you are doing so.
If we want to keep this area open we must follow the rules set forth by the land owners.

LongView Timber (LVT) has sent the WSMC a set of rules to be followed while on their
property. This applies to the Kalama area as well as the rest of LongView Timber land.
All people that want to rockhound on LVT land need to contact LVT and ask them if it is ok to
go onto there land. This applies to ALL, even if you have all the proper paper work and have
gotten a key for your club you need to contact LVT and ask if it is ok.
For safety reasons, LVT requests all rock hounding recreational users of the Kalama Green
Mountain area to get permission before going onto their property.
In the summer time they generally close their land to recreational use due to FIRE hazard. Also
they may be working the land and at that time there would be no access to the general public. All
who take a group or go as a individual on to their land must have permission from LVT.
We will try our best to post when the area is closed, it will be posted at on this website.

help ensure rockhounds continued access to this area.

also lets them know when someone will be on there land.
