Forest Practice GIS
CAL FIRE's Forest Practice Geographical Information System (GIS) captures spatial data for current timber harvesting activities and maintains extensive historic GIS data for over 4 million acres of California timberland. Silviculture, yarding, new road construction, watercourse classifications, and timberland conversions are stored through the GIS. Once in the GIS, this information can be graphically represented on maps, brought into Google Earth, or used in your own GIS system. The GIS data is available for land-use planning, the analyses of cumulative impacts, and to meet the requirements of California's Forest Practice Rules.
An online GIS application allowing users to search, query, filter, and view all the mapped Forest Practice spatial data. It also provides a quick method of listing harvest activity in a watershed by Plan number and type.
