TEANAWAY PLANNING AREA <br />LANDSCAPE EVALUATION 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 34-54% 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 planning area. <br />LEARN MORE <br />This landscape evaluation was completed in 2020. <br />More details about DNR's priority planning areas are <br />available at: https://www.dnr.wa.govlForestHealthPlan <br />Data prod u cts a re ava il a ble at: https://bit.lylForestHealthData <br />CCINTACT <br />Amy Ramsey <br />Forest Health Strategic Plan Coordinator <br />360-902-1 694 <br />amy.ramsey@d nr.wa.gov <br />111,596 38,s00 - 60,000132,120 <br />TotalAcres Forested Acres Treatment Goal (Acres) <br />Omak <br />i <br />l.t <br />!
