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.

This dataset provides USFS watershed improvement activities to barriers to upstream migration. This includes improving existing passage structures or removing them entirely. Structures include culverts, dams, diversion dams. Also included are where structures have been added to purposely create barriers to protect native populations from invasive species. Data include the planned fiscal year and planned cost, the completed fiscal year, approximate completed cost, and partners involved. Each AOP activity is displayed as a single point.
Purpose:
Provide spatial and tabular information about USFS activities aimed at improving or protecting Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) from the Natural Resource Manager Watershed Improvement Tracking (WIT) database.
This dataset displays miles of habitat improved upstream from an Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) structure that was improved by an on the ground activity. Data includes the completed fiscal year and lists species that benefit from the habitat improvement. The miles of habitat improved are displayed as a line or multi-line. Data are from USFS Natural Resource Manager Watershed Improvement Tracking (WIT) database.
Purpose:
Provide spatial and tabular information about the miles of habitat improved upstream from an activity on an Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) structure.
This dataset provides USFS Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) survey data. It shows stream passage locations, passage measurements, and passability assessment categories from AOP field surveys. Structure included: culverts, dams, diversion dams, and natural features such as waterfalls.
Purpose:
USFS Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) survey data from the USFS Natural Resource Manager Aquatic Surveys database.
