TEANAWAY PLANNING AREA <br />LANDSCAPE EVALUATTON SUMMARY (2020) <br />Above: Figure 1. Planning area location. <br />Right Figure 2. Planning area geography and <br />fire risk to forests, homes, and infrastructure. <br />Planning Area Highlights <br />This planning area is 87% public land, split between the DNR Teanaway Community Forest (39%) in the center and US <br />Forest Service land (48%) to the north and east. The majority of USFS land is designated as inventoried roadless area <br />and Late Successional Reserve, <br />Fire risk is highest in the eastern portion of the planning area, representing some of the highest risk areas in eastern WA <br />(Fig.2)' The north side of Cle Elum Ridge and private land along Highway 970 and Teanaway road are also high risk. <br />Projected warming over the next 20-40 years will likely shift climate conditions suitable for moist and cold forest towards <br />conditions suitable for dry forest. The southeastern portion may no longer support forest. <br />Treating 34-54o/o of forested acres is recommended to increase resilience and reduce fire riskto communities using a <br />combination of mechanical, prescribe fire, and managed wildfire treatments. <br />High priority areas for potential treatments that maximize forest health and wildfire response benefit include the <br />Teanaway Community Forest and the southern boundary of the pranning area. <br />a <br />a <br />TEARN MORE <br />This landscape evaluation was completed in 2020. <br />More details about DNR's priority planning areas are <br />available al https://www.dnr.wa.govlForestHealthplan <br />Data prod ucts a re ava ila ble at https://bit.lylForestHealthData <br />CONTACT <br />Amy Ramsey <br />Forest Health Strategic Plan Coordinator <br />360-902-1694 <br />a my.ra msey@dn r.wa.gov <br />132,120 111,696 38,500 - 60,000 <br />Total Acres Forested Acres Treatment Goal (Acres) <br />0mak <br />ffif <br />l.
