Kaiser Foundation says it will preserve its Turkey Mountain property

Stava said the foundation’s property, east and north of the proposed mall site, would not be developed for commercial purposes.

Outlet mall could affect Turkey Mountain trails that cross private land

“Trail users at Turkey Mountain go wherever,” said Matt Meyer. “It is kind of a self-made trail that spills over onto private land.”

100-plus volunteers repair, reroute trails on Turkey Mountain

Michael Patton, executive director of The Metropolitan Environmental Trust, which helped organize the volunteers, said the event was unique because of the wilderness area itself — you can’t just drive a truck up the trails. Crews had to “do it the hard way to keep it wilderness,” Patton said, by using wheelbarrows to carry up gravel and dirt to fill in eroded terrain.
