Data and evidence for forest resilience action
As wildfire, insects, disease, and climate change increasingly threaten forests, land managers, agencies, nonprofits, and advocates need high-quality, reliable data to show what's at stake and where to take action. Explore clear, at-a-glance forestry data and climate projections for any forest at any scale in the continental U.S.
The Forest Innovation Platform
The Forest Innovation Platform (FIP) provides free and open-source forestry data and climate projections, curated by experts, to help you quickly understand and communicate the risks facing forests today and in the future.
FIP gives you easy access to the most rigorous and up-to-date nationwide data so you can create and validate a management plan, a grant application, or a policy ask with credible evidence. Generate a forest assessment for your area to find clear, easy-to-read trends and key climate metrics or download the data yourself.
