The Wind River Canopy Crane Research Facility (WRCCRF) was established in 1994
as a cooperative research venture among the University of Washington School of Forest Resources,
the USFS Pacific Northwest Research Station, and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.
Located on the Wind River Experimental Forest, it is an active research site of the
Biogeosphere-Atmosphere Stable Isotope Network (BASIN) and AmeriFlux networks.
