Heybrook Ridge
A jump-start for effort to preserve forest near Index To save scenic hillside, tiny Index gets a crash course in fundraising: Heybrook Ridge 是位於 Index, WA 的東側的那片山地. 這是位於 US-2 從西雅圖往 Leavenworh, 進 Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest 前的小城市. Heybrook Ridge 約一百年前被整個砍伐過. 現在擁有土地的公司預計再次的砍伐這片林地. 不過由於 Index 的請求, 擁有土地的公司決定給這個山裡面的小城市一年半的時間買下這片土地. 現在需要七個星期找到 1.3 million 的捐獻. 近期有位無名的捐款者將 match 所有的捐款至 $500,000. 所以 Friends of Heybrook Ridge 現在只需要找到 $800,000 就可以買下並保留那片超過 100 英畝的 Heybrook Ridge. 這地方距離西雅圖約一個小時. 是一個很好半日遊的地點. Index, WA 也是近日終於被投票通過, 只待總統先生的簽署的 Wild Sky Wilderness 的入口城市. 如果這片山林被砍伐, 那以後去 Wild Sky Wilderness 的入口就是很諷刺的一片光禿禿的山. Heybrook Ridge 山上的 Heybrook Lookout. 東可眺望 Index Mountains. 南則是 Bridal Veil Falls. 要被砍伐的部份是山的北側. 影片: MAY THE FOREST BE WITH YOU Side Note: Northwest Airlines Announces New Nonstop Service between Seattle and Beijing: 西北航空 2009 年 3 月 1 日起, 西雅图往返北京直飞航线. 这将是继海南航空(2008 年 6 月 9 日起开始)西雅图往返北京直飞航线后, 第二个从西雅图往返直飞中国的航空公司. 這資訊得自於 MIT BBS 西雅图地区版
