Thank you for the report and for securing it, Tom! That looks like one of DNR’s. I have passed this along and sounds like the Natural Areas staff can likely pick it up this week. I expect they may reach out but also feel free to connect with DNR Natural Areas Manager, Tristan Currin to coordinate. Tristan.currin@dnr.wa.gov (360)-522-6424.
Happy to coordinate, but not necessary from my end. If someone grabs it, they can just leave the rope coiled up where it is secured.
And, of course, you’re right. I mis-identified the logo as ecology rather than dnr.
