"A massive and bitterly contested Western Washington land exchange between the U.S. Forest Service and the Weyerhaeuser Co. has finally been completed, but not before it helped spark a national re-examination of such land swaps.Environmentalists were split on the so-called Huckleberry Land Exchange.
