Forest Health Tracker

Welcome to Forest Health Tracker, an interactive online platform that aims to gather and display forest health project information across all lands in Washington to facilitate strategic cross-boundary planning, implementation, and monitoring of forests in the spirit of shared stewardship.  More than 22 million acres of Washington - half of the state - is forested, effecting clean air and water, fish and wildlife habitat, and our quality of life. The 2020 Forest Action Plan sets out strategic goals and actions to address the most pressing threats to our state's forest ecosystems at a meaningful scale.

The Forest Action Plan integrates the 20-Year Forest Health Strategic Plan: Eastern Washington. This plan, grounded in science, set a bold initial goal of restoring 1.25 million acres of forest to healthy conditions, increasing fire resilience and better protecting our communities.  To inform management and assess the ongoing need for treatments to increase resilience in this dynamic landscape, DNR has completed forest health assessments for priority landscapes covering millions of acres in eastern Washington.  As of May 2024, Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and partner organizations have reported 790,790 acres of forest health treatments on 381,523 footprint acres across eastern Washington on tribal, state, federal, local, and private lands completed since 2017 when the plan was released.  

Not all forest health project information can be displayed on this website, such as data associated with privacy restrictions.  So in addition to this website, DNR maintains a comprehensive forest health treatment tracking database that is utilized for routine progress reporting on forest health strategic plan goals.

Treatment tracking is a helpful indicator in measuring progress to increase the pace and scale of treatments, but it is just one component of our state's comprehensive forest health monitoring framework.

Increasing forest health and resiliency across all-lands in Washington is a highly collaborative effort, requiring coordination amongst individuals and organizations across the state. The evolving data displayed in this website across local, state, federal, tribal, and private land ownership is a reflection of that collaboration and commitment.
