Wind River Canopy Crane Back to: Biological Field Research Index |

| These photos were taken in 1996 at the Wind River Canopy Crane in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in southern Washington. The crane gave biologists access to the upper reaches of an old-growth Douglas-fir forest, and was used for many important studies of the ecology of a hard-to-reach plant community. Photos not taken from the ground, or from in the crane's gondola, were taken from the central tower. |
