LANDFIRE is used every day in on-the-ground situations to advance strategic planning, provide historical context and support appropriate land management for conservation.

We’ve collected first-phase TNC-LANDFIRE Application Project Reports from the field (noted below) and ongoing Case Studies and Stories from the Field to illustrate how this powerful suite of science-based resources is working in the “real world.” Adaptive Management strategic planning resources are provided, and Landscape Conservation Forecasting^tm is explained along with "how-to" instructions.

The LANDFIRE Program will update all circa 2000 current vegetation layers and related products to 2008 using remote sensing techniques, models and field-supplied information. Reports and updates will be available as they are published and available.

LANDFIRE National website is continually updated with more application stories.
