Map in a Snap: RegenMapper Quickly Identifies, Prioritizes Replanting Locations

The 2017 fire season in Montana was especially severe, with more than 2,400 wildfires burning about 1.4 million acres across the state. In the aftermath, the Forest Service's Northern Region headquarters helped assess and prioritize national forest recovery needs. The work required hundreds of hours compiling data, matching it with GIS layers and fire boundaries, and considering factors such as slope, aspect, and the presence of nearby tree species.  Music courtesy of Souvenir Thread Read the Science You Can Use and access the related content on Treesearch.
