Data

 
Remote sensing, research, forest inventory, and other types of data are available to researchers and the general public. For example, DNR maintains a number of long-term databases through the Status and Trends Monitoring of Riparian and Aquatic Habitat project (2013 to present). These databases include data on stream channel morphology, stream temperature, hydrology, stream shade, and riparian trees.  Submit your request for data to the project lead or the OESF Research and Monitoring Manager (Teodora Minkova). 
 
DNR's GIS data are available here (requires the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Microsoft Edge), and DNR maps and survey data are available at this link.
