Implementation Plan

A living implementation plan aims to track the necessary actions, strategies, partners, and resources needed to treat 22,000 to 35,500 acres over the next 5-10 years in this priority landscape.

Forest Health Tracker

Forest health treatments across all lands are tracked and displayed against the analyzed treatment need and treatment priority areas on the Cle Elum priority landscape page in Forest Health Tracker.
