Lake Wenatchee & White River

The outstanding scenic, biological, and recreational assets of the Lake Wenatchee/White River area make this one of the highest priorities for the CDLT. The White River contains some of the most important salmon runs in the entire Columbia River Basin and is a great example of highly functioning river system that has not been degraded by poor land use practices. The CDLT is working with private landowners, the U.S. Forest Service, the Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, and Chelan County to permanently protect the natural functions and scenic beauty of the White River watershed.

Working with Lake Wenatchee Residents and Longview Fibre, we helped negotiate a win-win approach to logging Nason Ridge that protected the scenic, environmental, and recreational values of Nason Ridge.
