Download National Datasets

Data collected and managed by Forest Service programs is available in a map service and two downloadable file formats – in a shape file and an ESRI file geodatabase. Metadata is available that describes the content, source, and currency of the data. You can filter the list by the topic categories in the menu at the left to help you find information you are interested in. You can view the feature classes in a single dataset by clicking on the name of the parent dataset at the bottom of the abstract.

Shapefile Limitation Warning:
The Enterprise Data Warehouse Team has identified certain technical limitations of shapefiles which make them not suitable for all datasets within this clearinghouse. Due to file size limits as well as attribute name length and field length restrictions leading to inevitable data loss, the EDW Team is unable to support shapefile exports for larger datasets. There are other methods to accessing this data in addition to the Esri File Geodatabase (FGDB) including the map service or the Geospatial Data Discovery Tool.

Requests for KML/KMZ output
The Enterprise Data Warehouse Team tested exporting out to KML/KMZ files as a deliverable and due to the complexity and size of the datasets this has been unsuccessful. To obtain a KML file for any EDW dataset, go to the Geospatial Data Discovery Tool and search for the dataset. An option to download to KML is available from that website.

Feature Classes Abstract

Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program: Line

S_USA.Activity_CFLRP_LN

ESRI geodatabase  (380KB)
shape file  (795KB)

Date of last refresh: Mar 22, 2024

CFLRP_LN represents Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) Program project activities in polyline vector format. Also included are other High Priority Restoration projects that are funded outside of CFLR. It is important to note that this layer does not contain all of the approved project activities. Instead, these are the accomplishments that project groups uploaded to the Forest Service corporate data holdings in FACTS. As spatial data is a new requirement for the program, improvements to the quality and comprehensiveness of this data is expected in coming years. The Forest Service's Natural Resource Manager (NRM) Forest Activity Tracking System (FACTS) is the agency standard for managing information about activities related to fire/fuels, silviculture, and invasive species. FACTS is an activity tracking application for all levels of the Forest Service. The application allows tracking and monitoring of National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) decisions as well as the ability to create and manage Knutson-Vandenberg (KV) trust fund plans at the timber sale level. This application complements its companion NRM applications, which cover the spectrum of living and non-living natural resource information.

Purpose:
The Activity_CFLRP_LN layer represents linear activities of projects in the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) Program. Also included are linear activities of other High Priority Restoration (HPR) projects that are funded outside of CFLR. Activities are implemented to reach the objectives outlined in a project groups' Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration proposal and are self-reported by Forest Service Units.

Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project Boundaries

ESRI geodatabase  (3MB)
shape file  (7MB)

Date of last refresh: Oct 2, 2023

Depicts the boundaries for the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR). Three of these projects were formerly "High Priority Restoration Projects" (HPRP): Northeastern Washington Vision 2020; Ozark Highlands; and Longleaf Pine Ecosystem Restoration and Hazardous Fuels Reduction. These projects received CFLR appropriated funding starting in FY 2013.

Purpose:
This layer shows the boundaries for the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration (CFLR) project boundaries. These are ten year projects designed to encourage the collaborative, science-based ecosystem restoration of priority forest landscapes. For more information on these projects, please visit http://www.fs.fed.us/restoration/CFLRP/index.shtml.
