Glenwood
Basics
The Glenwood priority landscape (or priority planning area) spans a steep elevation gradient from subalpine parkland on Mt. Adams to low elevation dry forest and shrub-steppe vegetation within the Klickitat River watershed. Ownership across the planning area is mixed, with 33% DNR-Trustlands, 33% industrial, and smaller amounts of private and other owners. Tribal land belonging to the Yakama Nation in the northwest portion represents 8% of the area.
- Fire risk is highest in western, southwestern, and southeastern portions of the planning area, as well as around Glenwood.
- Projected warming over the next 20-40 years will likely shift climate conditions currently suitable for moist and cold forest towards conditions suitable for dry forest throughout the planning area.
- Treating 28-38% of forested acres (23,500 - 32,000 acres) is recommended to increase resilience and reduce fire risk to communities using a combination of mechanical treatments, prescribed fire, and maintenance treatments.
- Treatment priority is high in central and southern portions of the planning area based on fire risk, drought vulnerability, current forest structure, and fire transmission to communities.

Projects can be associated with multiple Priority Landscapes, but the simple project location marker is mapped in a single location. Therefore, some Projects may appear outside the Priority Landscape boundary.
