Stemilt
Basics
The Stemilt/Squilchuck planning area has high fire risk across much of the area, although treatments that have been implemented over the last 20 years have lowered risk in a significant portion. Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management lands comprise 7%, WA Department of Natural Resources lands 14%, WA Department of Fish and Wildlife lands 12%, Chelan County lands 8%, and private land comprise 60% of the planning area. Considerable private lands with homes, agriculture, and other infrastructure exists. Based on 2017 current conditions, treatments to shift forest structure on an estimated 9,200 – 13,600 acres would move the landscape into a resilient condition and restore wildlife habitat. An additional 3,000 – 6,000 acres of maintenance treatments are also recommended. These treatments equate to about 26-32% of the forested acres.
