Bobscapes: The Bobscapes Mobile App will help researchers better understand population dynamics and help managers direct resources for habitat work to the areas where those investments will be most effective in recovering the species. Additionally, for those interested, the app will connect landowners to technical experts who can make habitat recommendations and share information on voluntary cost share programs. Lastly, the data provided will assist wildlife biologists in creating a national habitat network of “Bobwhite landscapes” necessary to ensure this species persists for future generations!

The Literature Gateway: Forest managers, wildlife conservation groups, policy makers, and other stakeholders often need to review literature on forest bird-vegetation relationships to inform decisions on natural resource management or ecosystem restoration. The literature gateway facilitates the exploration of this literature, helping users find references on a diverse range of management-relevant topics that have been compiled by subject experts based on searches of >60 different sources spanning the past 50+ years.

Wildlife & Environmental Contaminants Mapper: The Wildlife & Environmental Contaminants Mapper displays the locations of over 100,000 samples from the "Environmental Contaminants Database Management System" (ECDMS) from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. Click on sample collection locations to view the details about the samples, and download available results from laboratory tests performed.

Imperiled Aquatic Species Conservation Strategy for the Upper TN River Basin: The Imperiled Aquatic Species Conservation Strategy for the Upper Tennessee River Basin is a cost-effective conservation strategy for 36 imperiled freshwater fish and mussel species in the 22,360 square-mile Upper Tennessee River Basin. Developed in 2014.

GIS & Conservation Planning Toolkit: The GIS & Conservation Planning Toolkit was designed by the Landscape Conservation Cooperatives to help walk resources managers through integrating GIS data and planning into day-to-day operations. We still house this toolkit for practitioners to use in their on-the-ground conservation efforts.

Appalachian Naturescape: Well-connected landscapes are necessary to sustain many of the natural and cultural resources important to the Appalachian region. Appalachian NatureScape is a dynamic conservation planning resource that brings together data and perspectives of experts and committed stakeholders.

Landscape Partnership Spatial Datasets: Discover datasets produced by Landscape Partnership members and partners

Northeast Conservation Planning Atlas: The Northeast Conservation Planning Atlas is a science-based mapping platform that provides access to high-quality geospatial datasets, maps and information to facilitate partner-driven conservation from Maritime Canada to the Appalachians. Produced by the Conservation Biology Institute.

Rangeland Analysis Platform: The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) is an interactive web application designed to assist in managing and monitoring America’s valuable rangelands. This free tool was developed for landowners, managers, and conservationists to quickly and easily access information that can guide land use decisions.

FY21 WLFW-GWWA Project Boundary: Updated to include new priority areas in NY.

Deerfield watershed Stream Crossings Explorer: This tool helps you locate road-stream crossings based on your interests.

EDDMapS: Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System: EDDMapS is a web-based mapping system for documenting invasive species and pest distribution. It is fast, easy to use, and doesn't require GIS experience. Launched in 2005 by the Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health at the University of Georgia, it was originally designed as a tool for state Exotic Pest Plant Councils to develop more complete distribution data of invasive species. Since then, the program has expanded to include the entire US and Canada as well as to document certain native pest species. EDDMapS' goal is to maximize the effectiveness and accessibility of the immense numbers of invasive species and pest observations recorded each year. As of June 2021, EDDMapS has over 5.2 million records.

The National Conservation Easement Database (NCED): NCED is the first national database of conservation easement information, compiling records from land trusts and public agencies throughout the United States. This public-private partnership brings together national conservation groups, local and regional land trusts, and local, state and federal agencies around a common objective. This effort helps agencies, land trusts, and other organizations plan more strategically, identify opportunities for collaboration, advance public accountability, and raise the profile of what’s happening on-the-ground in the name of conservation.

Southeast Longleaf Ecosystem Occurrences (LEO) Geodatabase: The Southeast LEO Geodatabase is a project to develop a comprehensive map database of documented longleaf pine locations and ecological conditions across the range. Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI) is working in partnership with the Longleaf Alliance to build the LEO GDB with funding from Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) via the U.S. Endowment for Forestry and Communities, and in close conjunction with the America's Longleaf Restoration Initiative - Longleaf Partnership Council, and other partners.

Massachusetts DER's Restoration Potential Model Tool: DER’s Restoration Potential Model (RPM) Tool displays information that can be used to evaluate the relative ecological benefit of removing any known dam in Massachusetts.

Coastal Resilience Maine: Allows users to explore barriers to aquatic connectivity — dams and road-stream crossings– and identify likely high priorities for removal or improved fish passage for different objectives as well as to run custom analyses.

Chesapeake Fish Passage Prioritization Tool: This tool evaluates and prioritizes dams and other in-stream barriers to aquatic organism passage to help inform aquatic connectivity restoration projects in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

Freshwater Network Northeast Region: Northeast Aquatic Connectivity Project's Tool: Tool for assessing barriers to aquatic connectivity including dams and road-stream crossings.
