Wind River Arboretum, Research arboretum in Skamania County, United States.
The Wind River Arboretum features a 2-mile interpretive trail that winds through a collection of 250 tree species from different regions of the world.
Established in 1912 by Thornton T. Munger, this forest research station emerged following the Yacolt Fire of 1902 to study reforestation methods and tree species adaptation.
The experimental forest represents a century of scientific dedication to understanding tree growth patterns and forest management in the Pacific Northwest region.
Visitors can access the arboretum without entry fees by taking SR 14 to Carson, driving north on Wind River Highway, and turning left onto Hemlock Road.
The research conducted at Wind River Arboretum determined that native species surpass non-native varieties in survival rates, with most introduced species failing to thrive.
