Due to the upcoming move of all national forest websites into the Drupal platform, changes will be made to the current look and workings of the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest website. Although we don’t have an exact date when this move will occur, these steps are necessary to facilitate an orderly transition to the new websites nation-wide.
We have removed information from the righthand column of the home page as part of this process. Some of the links that had been in that column are now at the bottom of the home page (see below). Thank you for your patience as we go through the switchover to the new website platform.
