- [Guided boat tour of Penn Cove Native American history](https://sculptureforest.org/guided-boat-tour-of-penn-cove-native-american-history/) - We went on an interesting two hour boat tour along the shores of Penn Cove, leaving from the wharf and heading clockwise around the cove.

- [Skagit Tribe on Penn Cove](https://sculptureforest.org/skagit-tribe-on-penn-cove/) - Some more local history: The Skagit tribe apparently settled in three permanent villages around the shores of Penn Cove, including one location just west of us.

- [1990 Satellite View of Property](https://sculptureforest.org/1990-satellite-view-of-property/) - I found a 1990 black and white satellite view of our property on Terraserver, which show US Geological Survey imagery.

- [Free USGS Topography Maps](https://sculptureforest.org/free-usgs-topography-maps/) - Freeconomics lives on. I recently found a good source out there, putting our tax money to use.

- [Access Path About 500 Feet In](https://sculptureforest.org/driveway-path-about-500-feet-in/) - Nice cool day for getting sweaty swinging a brush cutter and moving piles. We pushed ahead with the driveway path from the Parker Road side, perhaps getting to about a 500 foot length now. Most of the path is about a scraping-sides car width. So, future passes will work on expanding the width. Our focus
- [Mug Shots](https://sculptureforest.org/mug-shots/) - Since Scott's parents visited our property, we actually now have a few pictures of Karen and Scott together there (instead of one of us just taking a picture of the other). Perhaps a tripod would be a good future accessory, though having family there is far better!

- [Forest Site Index](https://sculptureforest.org/forest-site-index/) - Over the years, forestry sciences have developed a classification system for quickly summarizing the tree growing potential of a site. Sites may differ significantly in soil quality, nutrients, water availability, and environmental conditions, enabling the same seed to grow far stronger and larger in one location than another. A Forest Site Index summarizes this concept.

- [Low Emissions Chain Saw and Brush Cutter](https://sculptureforest.org/low-emissions-chain-saw-and-brush-cutter/) - Let's face it, most chain saws and brush cutters are not particularly eco-friendly since they spew out lots of 2-stroke oil and gas smoke. Nonetheless, I needed to get both of these devices for making headway into our vehicle access "driveway" and future walking paths around the property. Hence, a dilemma. How best to strike

- [View of Property from Airplane](https://sculptureforest.org/view-of-property-from-airplane/) - Here are photos showing northern sections of the property from the vantage point of an airplane. It is gratifying to see all of the trees on this property and also trees still standing on other properties that have been partially developed in the Long Point area. Hopefully more trees are coming to fill in some
- [Coupeville Native Plant Species Found So Far](https://sculptureforest.org/coupeville-native-plant-species-found-so-far/) - The forester pointed out the following native plant species on our property today: Douglas fir Grand fir Hemlock Pacific yew Madrone Alder Salal Rhododendron Oregon grape Sword fern Bracken fern Trailing blackberry Evergreen huckleberry Ocean spray Wild rose / Baldhip rose Salmonberry Honeysuckle
- [Field Investigation By Archaeologists](https://sculptureforest.org/field-investigation-by-archaeologists/) - I met with the archaeologist and his field technician today. They performed a visual reconnaissance of the entire property, and then began digging test holes at selected locations on a grid system. Their initial assessment early in the day was that there was little likelihood of an archaeological site on the property. The land is
- [Defining The Future By Marking Trail Routes](https://sculptureforest.org/marking-future-trail-routes/) - This week, I spent many hours getting wet and dirty in heavy bushwhacking throughout the park property, all in search of the best route for both the south walking trail loop and north walking trail loop. It was fun. Route finding for an ecosystem-oriented sculpture park requires a lot of thought across many factors, some
- [Public Notice of Application Sign Up](https://sculptureforest.org/public-notice-of-application-sign-up/) - After many months of putting together plans, documents, and long term construction strategy, I submitted all of the required documents for full permit applications with Island County in November. On December 18, I placed the official "yellow sign" Public Notice of Application onsite by Parker Road, and this coincided with the application announcement in the
- [Determining The Driveway Entrance And Parking Lot Location](https://sculptureforest.org/determining-the-driveway-entrance-and-parking-lot-location/) - I adjusted the public parking lot driveway and parking spaces a few feet here and a few feet there, all to optimize for the highest number and largest trees that could be saved. I was able to strike a good balance, and some trees that may have been removed will instead hopefully come right up
- [Island County Liquefaction Susceptibility Map](https://sculptureforest.org/island-county-liquefaction-susceptibility-map/) - The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has produced a fairly detailed map of soil liquefaction susceptibility across Island County. Fortunately, the park property was determined to have low to very low susceptibility.
- [How To Grow Your Own Old Growth](https://sculptureforest.org/how-to-grow-your-own-old-growth/) - I participated in a Northwest Natural Resource Group sponsored informative seminar on "How To Grow Your Own Old Growth", held at the Ohop Grange in Eatonville. It had a gratifyingly full attendance of almost 60 people! The seminar covered the following topics: Definitions of old growth forests Prescriptions/methods for proactively setting up a forest to
- [Updated Island County Long Point Parcel Map](https://sculptureforest.org/updated-island-county-long-point-parcel-map/) - Many of the parcel maps I had were older and did not show recent changes to the area, including the waterfront property at our northwest corner that was split off from our parcel a while ago by prior owners. Here's a more updated parcel map that shows much of Long Point and the area immediately
- [Updated Again Island County Long Point Parcel Map](https://sculptureforest.org/updated-again-island-county-long-point-parcel-map/) - Back in August I posted an updated Island County parcel map of Long Point, which included my property. I happened to see today that the parcel map has recently been further updated and improved. Parcels and boundary edge lengths are much clearer in the new version.
- [FEMA Flood Insurance Map](https://sculptureforest.org/fema-flood-insurance-map/) - The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has flood insurance maps for the entire country. Although most people think of flooding along rivers, the maps actually include large tidal bodies of water, lakes, and areas of potential water flooding from large storms or such. Our property is elevated well above the coastal "flood plain", but it
- [View of Property from Penn Cove](https://sculptureforest.org/view-of-property-from-penn-cove/) - First view of the property from out on the waters of Penn Cove! I was able to do a lot of triangulating to determine the approximate property boundaries from this angle, and created an overlay outline to show where our property is located. Click on either picture for a larger, more detailed view.
- [Ecological Forestry Seminar at Northwest Trek in Eatonville](https://sculptureforest.org/ecological-forestry-seminar-at-northwest-trek-in-eatonville/) - As I wrote last month, today was the Ecological Forestry Seminar sponsored by Kirk and the other helpful folks at Northwest Natural Resource Group. It was held at Northwest Trek, an unusual 723 park south of Seattle that combines public park ownership with a theme park-like safari ride atmosphere. Northwest Trek realized it needed to
- [Planning to Attend Ecological Forestry Seminar](https://sculptureforest.org/planning-to-attend-ecological-forestry-seminar/) - Another great forestry event is being planned by Northwest Natural Resources Group: the seminar Ecological Forestry: Restoring Habitat Complexity in Managed Forests. Here's a description from them: "Forests in the Pacific Northwest are extraordinarily resilient and productive ecosystems. Careful forest management can provide robust wildlife habitat, sustained yields of many different forest products, and a
- [Approved and Signed Forest Stewardship Plan!](https://sculptureforest.org/approved-and-signed-forest-stewardship-plan/) - Today I received the final signature page from the helpful DNR forester. So, it is now truly completed and ready to use with Island County and timber management programs. Yay Yippee Yahoo!!!
- [Parcel History: Public Road and Subdivision was Proposed on Our Land](https://sculptureforest.org/parcel-history-public-road-and-subdivision-was-proposed-on-our-land/) - While sleuthing around on Island County plat maps, I found some "mystery remnants" of past plans for our property that apparently never came to be. The plat map below shows a potential subdivision of our property into about 7 different lots, most of which were each larger than other lots in the Long Point plat.
- [Digging Up Local Well Logs](https://sculptureforest.org/digging-up-local-well-logs/) - Wells... important stuff on an island... relatively limited aquifers, potential for salt water intrusion near shorelines, longer recharge times. And in our case, we will need to make a decision between installing a well or hooking up to city water lines that are available on two different sides of our property. A geologist friend pointed
- [Completed Final Draft of Forest Stewardship Plan](https://sculptureforest.org/completed-final-draft-of-forest-stewardship-plan/) - Nice milestone this evening: I completed my Forest Stewardship Plan, the one that I started 6 months ago. Finally prioritized picking it back up again, and it feels good to be at this point. It's a healthy 26 page report, and I can say that going through the process of creating it was helpful on
