Upper Wenatchee Valley Sustainable Trails Project

The Upper Wenatchee Valley Sustainable Trails Project (UWVSTP) is facilitated by TREAD, a nonprofit organization advocating for outdoor recreation in the greater Wenatchee Valley area and throughout Central Washington, through education, communication, and collective impact work. TREAD has collected information on recreation needs and proposals for several different land managers and recreational groups to build and maintain a system of non-motorized trails and associated infrastructure and camping in a 120,000 acre analysis area around Leavenworth, Washington. This project encompasses an area in the western portion of the Wenatchee River drainage between Leavenworth and Wenatchee, WA that is hereafter referred to as the Upper Wenatchee Valley. The trail system and associated infrastructure would be comprised of several project areas located on a mix of land ownerships, including: Chelan County PUD, Chelan-Douglas Land Trust, Private, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Washington Department of Natural Resources, and Washington State Department of Transportation. Given the multiple jurisdictions and land ownership in this project, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and State Environmental Protection Act (SEPA) processes would be required.
