If you have any data of the types indicated above that are current as of 1999 or later, please click here for information on how to provide those data to support LANDFIRE Refresh.

In addition to the spatial polygon layers, we seek any geo-referenced digital photos of vegetation or fuel conditions, geo-referenced vegetation or fuel plot data, and project descriptions or final reports available to support LANDFIRE Refresh. If you have data or information of those types that are current as of 1999 or later, please click here for guidance on providing those data to support LANDFIRE Refresh.

If you are aware of data of the types listed above (such as event polygons, vegetation/fuel photos, or plot data) but not in a position to provide those data to us directly, please contact Karen Short, the LANDFIRE Reference Data Administrator, at kshort@landfire.org or 406-549-7478 to provide some brief information that will allow us to pursue those data through the proper channels.
