	Fort Clatsop NMem: Lewis and Clark Trail from Fort Clatsop to the Clatsop Plains
		In the present thinking for the development and interpretation of the Memorial, the immediate vicinity of the fort, including the top and south slope of the ridge on which it sets as far west as the proposed bypass road, would be permitted to revert to natural coniferous forest.

		As long as the bulk of the property along this road over to the Clatsop Plains remains privately owned, there would be little chance of inducing the county to vacate the section of the road between the monument proper and the sample hemlock forest.
