A Swan Ecosystem Center (SEC) committee representing a broad spectrum of the community developed an assessment of the Upper Swan Valley landscape, taking into account both the ecological and social functions of the ecosystem. This community-based landscape assessment crosses all land ownerships for an ecosystem view. The assessment will help the public, federal and state land managers, the timber industry, and private landowners better care for the land.

The Final Version of the Upper Swan Valley Landscape Assessment is available for viewing by chapter. Use the links below. The assessment is intended to describe the past and present conditions of the ecosystem.
