Abstract
Approaches in identifying terrestrial natural areas in Oregon are reviewed. Remote sensing techniques using high altitude colour infrared photography were applied to locate and describe candidate natural area reserves on state-owned land in seven Oregon countries. Land units totalling 25, 700 ha were catalogued as potential natural areas, based on the natural quality and character of the vegetation cover. The characteristics and uses of high altitude colour infrared photography are discussed with reference to natural area inventory.
