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: Urban Forest Patch Viewer is a new web application designed to visualize forest patches in four eastern cities and identify the ownership of these patches. Nancy Falxa Sonti will speak to the research and development of this tool. Katie Lautar and Kelly Collins Choi will then cover how they use the tool for land preservation purposes at two non-profit organizations: Baltimore Green Space and Casey Trees

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