This is a dashboard to visualize potential forest health and fuel reduction treatments with geospatial data from a landscape evaluation conducted by the Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR). Users may need to adjust browser zoom to see the information in all panels. This dashboard was created for the Little White Salmon planning area on the Gifford Pinchot National Forest (GPNF), and the landscape evaluation is available online: https://www.dnr.wa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/rp_2020_le_little_white.pdf. Note that the planning area boundary is not identical to the GPNF project area boundary.
Treatment targets are based on the departure of current forest structure from historical conditions for different vegetation types across all land ownerships. The Little White planning area is predominantly moist and cold forests, and potential treatments are within the target ranges for those forest types (See Departed Structure and Treatment Targets tab).
Landscape Treatment Priority (LTP) is based on fire risk, drought vulnerability, departed structure, and wildfire transmission to homes. The Little White planning area has a relatively low to moderate distribution of LTP, and potential treatments are concentrated at the higher end of the distribution across the available area (See Landscape Treatment Priority tab).
Large Dense Forest Sustainability (LDFS) is based on fire risk, drought vulnerability, and current forest structure. The Little White planning area has a relatively high distribution of LDFS, and potential treatments are concentrated at the lower end of the distribution, particularly in matrix areas (LSR - See Large Dense Forest Sustainability tab).
