Clark County will become the owner of a popular campground near the town Woodland. At its regular monthly meeting yesterday, the state Board of Natural Resources approved the transfer of the Woodland Campground from state ownership to Clark County. The 80-acre parcel in a scenic area of north Clark County will continue to be managed as a campground and recreation area.
“We are excited to add the Woodland Campground to our regional and special facility system,” said Jerome Koch, Senior Planner, Vancouver-Clark Parks & Recreation. “It adds to the many public recreation attractions in Clark County and Southwest Washington”
The transfer is funded through legislative appropriations to the state’s Trust Land Transfer Program. The $518,000 assessed value of standing timber on the property will be used to for construction or upgrading public kindergarten through 12th grade schools statewide. The $515,000 value of the land will be used to purchase replacement properties for the Common School Trust that will be better suited for long-term revenue to the trust. TLT funds help pay for present and future public school construction projects, and are appropriated each biennium by the state legislature.
The Board of Natural Resources represents the major beneficiaries of the state’s trust lands.
