Description:

Washington's public lands aren't all protected from logging. In fact, the state makes a lot of money for schools, libraries and hospitals by cutting down trees. That's starting to change with a new plan to preserve forests and "lease" them to companies looking to offset their carbon footprints.

Guest: Lynda Mapes, Seattle Times environmental reporter
