MAPS Results (1992-2009) for Wenatchee National Forest, WA
Background - Wenatchee National Forest is located in the Washington Cascades and encompasses more than 4-million acres east of the Cascade Crest, which defines its western boundary. The wide geographic range and varied precipitation patterns (10-70 inches per year depending on location) of the forest means that the forests are diverse from old growth forest, to the dry and rugged shrub-steppe country at its eastern edge. MAPS stations are located between 800 and 1500 meters on the edge of meadows and in riparian or boggy areas.
This forest lies on the western edge of the NABCI Great Basin Bird Conservation Region (BCR9) with one station in the Northern Pacific Rainforest Bird Conservation Region (BCR5) and is covered by the PIF Conservation Strategy for Landbirds in Coniferous Forest of Western Oregon and Washington (PDF) and Landbirds of the East-slope of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington (PDF). MAPS stations are located primarily in coniferous forest with a riparian or meadow (or clearcut gap) component (Google Earth image)
