The Northern Research Station has developed a suite of decision-support tools over the years that support research and land management. From land cover change to invasive species presence, these tools can facilitate land management decisions by understanding the current state of forests and suggesting future scenarios.  

This webinar series will introduce six decision-support tools developed or modified by researchers at the Northern Research Station and showcase examples in which they can be used in research and land management. 

Webinars will take place in March and April 2024.

Description: EVALIDator is an application developed by the Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) program to summarize and analyze forest inventory data. Jim Garner will cover the development of EVALIDator and how the tool continues to develop as FIA collaborates with researchers to refine it. Jereme Frank will then cover how he uses EVALIDator in his role as biometrician for the Maine State Forest Service.

Each webinar has been approved for 1 CFE credit through the Society of American Foresters and The Wildlife Society.
