Green Diamond Resource Company representatives today announced that the company has opened gates in its Western Washington operations for recreation, effective immediately.

“These are working forest lands, and safety is our highest priority,” said Patti Case, public affairs manager for Green Diamond. “An open gate may be a sign that forest management activity is taking place,” she said. “Visitors should be cautious.”
