Northern Arizona University’s Ecological Restoration Institute is taking the lead on an effort to map forest treatments across the country. The first-of-its-kind undertaking is designed to make the work more effective and lessen the threat of wildfire in the West.
The project called ReSHAPE will compile information across forest types from higher-elevation ponderosa pine to grasslands and chaparral. It’ll also assemble treatment data that spans federal, state, municipal and tribal land.
