BREMERTON — Kitsap County isn’t making as much money from logging in parks as officials had expected.

The Kitsap Sun reported the first year of the Kitsap County Parks Department’s selective logging program generated only about a third of the $100,000 the department hoped to earn when it began harvesting trees at Newberry Hill Heritage Park seven months ago.

The logging operation is part of the department’s new forest stewardship program.

The parks department logged about 130 acres between August and the early fall. The net income was $29,000.

Arno Bergstom is the county’s forester. He says revenues were low partly because the harvested logs were of low quality.
