Project Description

This project will leverage the power of the Land Treatment Exploration Tool and monitoring data from landscape-scale restoration projects on private and public lands to act as a “one stop shop” for restoration planning. The enhanced tool will provide a resource for local land managers that relates treatment outcomes to landscape, vegetation, climate, and treatment characteristics to adaptively manage and plan for restoration investments to grow and protect vital habitats.
