The Gateway is for the conservation practitioner, scientist and decision-maker. Here we share the best and most up-to-date information we use to inform our work at The Nature Conservancy.
We've chosen dozens of on-the-ground application stories that demonstrate how the suite of LANDFIRE products can be used for "non-fire" purposes during large landscape evaluation, management, budgeting and planning activities. Click here to access the interactive WHAM! itself. The attached document (downloadable) is a table with the names and short descriptions of each of the WHAM! projects. Below are quick links to some of the original reports. For the most complete information, check the attached document and/or go to the WHAM! map itself.
