Editor's Note: Recreation Reports Are Printed Every Week Through Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. October 8, 2014 Visitors to the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest need to be aware that a number of different hunting seasons are occurring right now. There are early and late season hunts for different species, so forest visitors need to be aware that hunters will be out in the woods over the next few months. Hunters are required to wear 400 square inches of fluorescent “Hunter Orange”, in areas open to modern firearm deer, or elk hunting. Forest visitors may also want to dress in vivid colors during fall hunting seasons. Normally, it is recommended that forest visitors try to blend in with their surroundings, but during the fall hunting seasons it is a good idea to make one’s presence known! This includes pets. If recreating in the woods with pets, make sure they are very visible (attach a bright orange bow or piece of orange material to their collar). If camping in a dispersed area or in a developed campground, think safety. Establish boundaries for children and dress them in bright clothes. Keep in mind quiet is for hunters not hikers, bikers, and other outdoors enthusiasts. Without scaring the dickens out of everyone and everything, make sure you can be heard and not confused with an animal moving through the woods. Whether hunting or out for a day’s trek into the woods, it is a good idea to complete and leave a “Trip Plan” with a friend before departing. Information that should be included in the trip plan or itinerary is the starting date, return date, purpose of trip, area and specific location, starting point, route in, destination, route out (if different than route in), and finish point. It is also a good idea to leave vehicle information with a friend (owner of the vehicle, license number, make/model, and vehicle year/color). To make your trip more enjoyable and safe, forest visitors are encouraged to carry the 10 Essentials with them. The 10 Essentials are a list of 10 basic emergency items that are recommended for every backcountry trip— whether it’s a day hike or a two-week hunting trip. The 10 essentials include rain gear, pocketknife, first aid kit, extra clothing, water, flashlight with extra batteries and bulb, extra food, matches/fire starter, sun protection (sunglasses, sunscreen, hat, lip balm), and a map and compass. Many backcountry travelers carry cellular phones. Reception in some areas may not be available. If calling 9-1-1 for assistance, your call is picked up by the nearest cellular tower in the most direct line of sight to your location. The call may be sent to a county 911 center, a State Patrol dispatch, or even to the Canadian authorities. These call-answering centers have no way of knowing where you are calling from unless you tell them. Be prepared, use 9-1-1 only in case of an actual emergency. Remember, help may be several hours or more away. When making any emergency call, be sure you know your location (including the trailhead and nearest city, destination or waypoints), your cell phone number, how your cell phone works, and how to increase your signal strength (finding a clearing, gaining elevation, and turning your body—you may be obstructing the signal). Be prepared to give complete information about the nature of the emergency when placing a call for help. For information about backcountry trip planning contact any Forest Service office. For more information about hunting or hunting regulations, please contact Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

The only Carlton Complex closures remaining in place in the Methow Valley Ranger District are on Roads No. 300 and 370 in Finley Canyon. The Duncan Fire area closure has been reduced to encompass the Entiat Valley Road north of Tommy Creek and the fire area east and north of the road. The closure still includes Shady Pass Road from the Entiat side to its intersection with Big Hill Road No. 112. Mills Canyon Road No. 5200 is closed weekdays through October 13th due to Burned Area Emergency Response operations occurring in the Mills Canyon Fire area. Chiwaukum Fire area closure has also been reduced to include Chiwaukum, Thomson, Painter, Battle Canyon, Hatchery, and Fall creeks. Area closures due to the Hansel Creek and Shoofly fires on the Wenatchee River Ranger District remain unchanged. Many areas within the recent fire perimeters continue to present significant public safety hazards and in some cases will for several years to come. These hazards are primarily associated with falling dead trees and flash flood impacts. The amount and level of public access provided is largely dictated by these public safety concerns and liabilities. “Our number one priority is human safety and we want to avoid accidents and injuries as much as possible. Stump holes, unstable soils, flooding potential, washed out roads, and falling trees and branches are all things that forest users need to be aware of,” Deputy Forest Supervisor Jason Kuiken said. “Any time you enter the forest, you should be aware of your environment and changing weather conditions. The environment in and adjacent to recently burned areas is highly susceptible to rainstorms and wind events,” he said. You are responsible for your own safety! Remember to always look up, look down and look all around for hazards before setting up camp, while hiking through the woods, or when stopped along any forest road. Hunters should be prepared with chainsaws or other equipment to clear the road should the exit be obstructed by falling trees. “We’ll continue to work hard to monitor and mitigate these hazards. However, areas might need to be re- closed if safety conditions change,” Kuiken said. The length of closure is dependent upon many criteria, including public safety, protection of property, and protection of forest resources (i.e., soils, vegetation, water quality, wildlife, fisheries, recreation, heritage impacts, etc.). Only fire personnel are allowed to go into or be upon National Forest land within the closed areas. Hunters are encouraged to check conditions of their desired area before they go and to seek alternative hunting areas. Maps and descriptions of closed areas are available at most ranger district offices and also on the forest website at www.fs.usda.gov/okawen . Any violation of the closure order is punishable by a fine of up to $5,000 for individuals and/or imprisonment up to six (6) months. OTHER KEY INFORMATION: You are responsible for your own safety! Check in with a friend or family member; tell them where you are going, when you’re leaving, and when you plan to return. Whenever possible, travel in pairs. When parking your vehicle, look up for overhead hazards within 1½ times the length of the tallest tree close to your vehicle. Don’t camp in areas that have dead trees within 1½ tree lengths of the campsite. Carry a communication device/cell phone and check-in at regular intervals. Locations in, near, and downstream of recently burned areas are very susceptible to flash flooding and debris flows. Remember...it doesn’t take a heavy downpour to result in flash flooding on a burn scar. Even a short period of moderate rainfall on a severely burned watershed can lead to flash floods or debris flows. After soils and vegetation have been charred, rainfall that would normally be absorbed will run off extremely quickly. 10-8-2014 Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest Recreation Report page 3 of 25 Rapidly moving flood waters can pick up large amounts of debris that can damage or destroy culverts, bridges, roadways, and buildings, potentially causing injury or death. Flash floods in and near burn scars can be life threatening. Dead trees can fall any time. Stay out of the forest when there are strong winds and if you are in the forest when winds kick up, head to a clearing away from potentially falling trees. Much of the National Forest is remote and medical assistance may not be readily available. Cellular phones do not work in many areas of the forest. Visitors should take adequate food, water, first aid supplies and other equipment appropriate for the conditions and expected weather. When building a campfire make sure all campfires are in areas cleared of all flammable material, and that they are properly extinguished. Vehicles should not be parked near gates or in areas that would impede traffic and block roads. OFFICE ADDRESSES and PHONE NUMBERS: Chelan Ranger District, 428 W.

  • Get Outside and Thrive
    GET OUTSIDE AND THRIVE THE MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS OF SPENDING TIME OUTSIDE, NATURE AND MOVEMENT WHY DOES GETTING OUTSIDE MATTER? ¡ Researchers at Harvard Medical School have found that time spent in nature can drastically impact mental health ¡ Ecotherapy has shown a strong connection between time spent in nature and reduced stress, anxiety, and depression. ¡ Walking has been proven effective in reducing anxiety and depression, and there is further evidence that walking in nature improves those results even further. That’s because different parts of our brain activate in nature. Our mind calms, leading to physical changes including a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure and a drop is cortisol levels ¡ Nature Walks have been described as the easiest self help strategy available to support mental health. HOW MUCH TIME OUTSIDE IS NEEDED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE? ¡ 20 minutes 3 times a week is enough to show a consistent reduction in stress as measured by cortisol levels. ¡ Any natural environment should help – the goal is to get away from the high stimulation levels of urban environments ¡ Find a time and space that works for you ¡ Consider making this a (safe) social time with family members or your support pod – evidence suggests the greatest mental health benefits come from group nature walks ¡ Any outdoor activity can help – a gentle walk, brisk hike, bike ride or run all help reduce stress levels ¡ Any green space will have a positive impact if “escape to the country” isn’t an option. WHERE CAN I GET OUTSIDE? ¡ For local walks our Lemon Road neighbourhoods are blessed with options – there are short and long trails along Pimmit Run at the back of the school property, multiple green spaces and parks in Pimmit Hills and behind the library and the High School allows walkers to use the trails around the school property and across the fields.

  • April 2016 Report
    Editor’s Note: Recreation Reports are printed every other week. April 26, 2016 Its spring, which means nice weather, wildflowers, bugs, fast flowing rivers and streams, and opening of national forest campgrounds. There are 137 highly developed campgrounds, six horse camps and 16 group sites available for use in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. Opening these sites after the long winter season requires a bit more effort than just unlocking a gate. Before a campground can officially open for use the following steps need to occur: 1. Snow must be gone and campground roads need to be dry. 2. Hazard tree assessments occur. Over the winter trees may have fallen or may be leaning into other trees, or broken branches may be hanging up in limbs above camp spots. These hazards must be removed before it is safe for campers to use the campground. 3. Spring maintenance must occur. Crews have to fix anything that is broken or needs repair. That includes maintenance and repair work on gates, bathrooms/outhouses, picnic tables, barriers that need to be replaced or fixed, shelters, bulletin boards, etc. 4. Water systems need to be tested and repairs made, also water samples are sent to county health departments to be tested to ensure the water is safe for drinking. 5. Garbage dumpsters have to be delivered. 6. Once dumpsters are delivered, garbage that had been left/dumped in campgrounds over the winter needs to be removed. 7. Vault toilets have to be pumped out by a septic company. 8. Outhouses need to be cleaned and sanitized and supplies restocked.
