The CRSF strives to research and develop data tools useful to our stakeholders.

Northeast Forest Information Source (NEFIS)

The mission of NEFIS is to rapidly communicate relevant information to forest managers and researchers that contributes to the sustainable management of forests in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. A variety of forest-related topics are covered by submissions to the site, including but not limited to Forest Ecology, Forest Policy/Economics, Forest Recreation, Human Dimensions, Forest Pests, Silviculture, Climate Concerns, Aquatic and Wildlife, and Exotic Species. The documents associated with the site are fully searchable. The NEFIS Forum provides a unique opportunity to interact with forest managers on topical issues in the industry.

Customized Data Queries About Maine’s Forests

The Maine Forest Dashboard is a collaborative effort to gather and display diverse information about Maine’s forests in a way that helps residents, visitors, businesses, scientists, and policymakers better understand current conditions and historic trends. The forest-related information found on the site is subdivided into four categories that describe the uses and values of Maine’s Forests: Recreation & Tourism, Conservation Lands, Forest Products, and Family Forests.
