Weyerhauser Company Tree Farm Access

Our Tree Farms are dynamic, working forests. Safety is a very important consideration and Weyerhaeuser Company is proud of its overall safety performance. We ask our visitors to think about safety, practice safe driving and woodsmanship, and be especially cautious with fire.

St. Helens Tree Farm
There are a couple of “key” points that the public needs to remember. The first is that access to the St Helens Tree Farm is limited and can change because of weather conditions or operational activities. The second is, before visiting the St Helens Tree Farm; visitors should always call the toll free hotline (1-866-636-6531) to check on current access permission and tree farm and road use rules.

The St Helens Tree Farm, has established several corridor routes that access the South and North Toutle Rivers as well as the Green River Fish Hatchery. Another corridor has been identified to access state public land that lies along the ridge between the North and South Toutle Rivers.

These corridors are kept open during the week as well as the weekend except when fire danger or operational issues require they be closed. Call the toll free hotline to get current information on the corridors and other areas that may be open for access.

Two additional opportunities, the Green River drainage and portions of the South Fork drainage, may be opened for weekend access, weather permitting, and when operational activities are minimal. When weekend access is permitted into these areas, the hotline will specify the particular weekend and the entry gate required to be used. During those weekends when access is allowed, camping and campfires will not be allowed unless otherwise stated.

Similar to last year, it is planned to open the Kalama and Coweeman River drainages for general weekday and weekend access following the end of state fire season. This usually coincides with modern firearm deer and elk hunting seasons.

All visitors to the St. Helens Tree Farm are advised to check the hotline for current access information before making their plans. The hotline also identifies other tree farm and road use rules.

Vail Tree Farm
During the deer hunting season, access onto the Vail Tree Farm is open to the public during the weekends only. Access information is available on the toll-free telephone line at 1-800-361-5602 or (360) 446-3813.

During the weekdays motorized vehicle access is not allowed. Always check the phone message system for current information.

White River and Snoqualmie Tree Farms
Access for hunting and other recreation on Weyerhaeuser’s White River and Snoqualmie forestlands is allowed by Recreation Access permit from March through mid-December. The permit system helps eliminate vandalism, garbage dumping and other illegal activities thus improving safety and allowing for a higher quality experience for hunters and other outdoor enthusiasts.

During the hunting season, access to thousands of acres is allowed through the Grass Mountain gate off Highway 410 east of Enumclaw, the Spur 10 Gate off the North Fork County Road north of North Bend and through the Griffin Creek Gate off State Route 203 northeast of Fall City. Gates are generally open from 3:30 PM to one hour after sunset on weekdays and from one hour before sunrise to one hour after sunset on weekends.

An annual permit is required for each vehicle entering Weyerhaeuser property. Permits and maps can be purchased from agents in Auburn, Carnation, Duvall, Enumclaw, Issaquah, Puyallup, Redmond, Snoqualmie and South Prairie for $60 plus the agent’s fee.
