About Forest Health Tracker
The Forest Health Tracker website is a tool to improve the effectiveness and accountability of shared stewardship by compiling forest health project information across all lands in Washington to increase our awareness of what forest health activities are planned on the landscape while tracking progress of completed treatments.
Willing land and resource managers submit data to this site about their proposed, planned, and completed projects that have forest health and resilience as a or one of a project's primary objectives. Information submitted includes spatial location, treatment type, project phase, and lead implementer and partner organizations. The data can be viewed on its own, and within the context of priority landscapes identified in Washington's Forest Action Plan.
Forest Health Tracker not only shows the spatial location of forest health projects, but also the connection between the forest health funding that flows through DNR to the forest health projects that funding makes possible.
Forest Health Tracker is built upon a customized instance of the open source ProjectFirma™ platform by Sitka Technology Group, LLC. The base platform has been extended with robust tabular and spatial program performance and project tracking abilities. The development of this site was made possible with funds provided by the Washington State Legislature.
