THE FOREST SURVEY IN NORTHEAST WASHINGTON 1/ 



As part of a Nation-wide project, authorized by Congress in 1928, a 

 survey 2/ of the forests of the six counties comprising Northeast 

 Washington was made in 1934 and 1935. The same area was resurveyed 

 during the period from 1946 to 1948 under authorization by Congress 

 in 1944 to maintain current information on forest resources through- 

 out the Nation. 



This report summarizes the findings of the resurvey and indicates 

 forest conditions as of January 1, 1948. Also the report contrasts 

 some of the findings of the resurvey and initial survey. Owing to 

 variations in techniques and other factors which are discussed under 

 survey methods, differences in the estimates of the two surveys 

 should be considered indicative of the 13-year trend rather than of 

 the amount of actual change . 



Area covered in this report

Washington is under the direction of the Pacific Northwest Station,
