Mason County Parks and Trails Department and the Capitol Land Trust have partnered to acquire 10 acres of prime waterfront property along Goldsborough Creek in Mason County. The County and Land Trust propose to purchase this property for conservation and passive recreation. The site has been used for years as access to Goldsborough Creek and a salmon interpretative trail has been developed on the site with the permission of the landowner. The owner is now willing to sell the property and one of the potential buyers is an adjoining auto dealership. If the dealership acquires the property all or a portion of the property could be lost to development. The Capitol Land Trust and the County have previously worked together to purchase 80 acres on Oakland Bay in Mason County. The Goldsborough Creek property is located near the City of Shelton and is bordered by property owned by the Green Diamond Resource Company. Both the Mason County Park Plan and Mason County Regional Trails Plan have identified this property as a high priority for acquisition.
