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.

An area encompassing all the National Forest System lands administered by an administrative unit. The area encompasses private lands, other governmental agency lands, and may contain National Forest System lands within the proclaimed boundaries of another administrative unit. All National Forest System lands fall within one and only one Administrative Forest Area.
This feature class includes States, Counties or Boroughs, Congressional Districts, Alaska Recording Districts, County Subdivisions, and Places boundaries that are derived from the latest official Census Bureau and Alaska Department of Natural Resources datasets. Features within Forest Service Administrative Forest boundaries may have been modified by the Forest Service for improved accuracy and spatial coincidence(vertical integration).
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. This feature class contains the FACTS attributes most commonly needed to describe FACTS activities.
Purpose:
This area feature class represents the locations of planned, accomplished and completed activity data that are recorded in the USFS Activities application FACTS. Only records with an activity are included. This data does not go into specifics of treatments (such as chemical treatments). It contains basic information like the activity subunit ID, administrative forest, ownership, state, planned date, accomplished date, completed date, method, equipment, funding, and many other items. The geographic extent of this dataset is constrained to Forest Service regional boundary Region 1.
