Wind River Experimental Forest information


Wind River Canopy Crane

The Wind River Experimental Forest is an ecological and silvicultural research in Stabler, Washington, in the United States. Used as a research site by the U.S. Forest Service beginning in 1908,[1] and functioning as an experimental forest since 1932, it is "known as the cradle of forest research in the Pacific Northwest".[2] The site is probably best known for the Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility (WRCCRF), a 285-foot (87 m)-high freestanding tower crane which supported an 8-person gondola allowing scientists to view the forest canopy from above. The tallest trees in the forest are about 220 feet (67 m).[3]

Many studies at Wind River continue for decades. This long-term research has resulted in important findings about forest ecology and management.[citation needed]
